My Summary
About Me
My name is Paula, I’m 24 years old, and I’m currently seeking a full-time nanny position starting in September 2025. I come from a warm and vibrant Spanish-Colombian background, which has given me the joy of being a fluent Spanish speaker. I love incorporating language learning into my time with children—many of the families I’ve worked with have enjoyed seeing their little ones pick up Spanish words and phrases in a natural, fun way.
I’m passionate about creating a nurturing, engaging, and enriching environment for children. I enjoy cooking healthy, balanced meals and getting little ones involved in baking and food preparation—it’s a great way to teach independence and creativity! I also love arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, and planning exciting days out that inspire curiosity and support both physical and social development.
I truly believe in the importance of play, exploration, and meaningful interaction. Whether it’s a nature walk, a museum visit, a trip to the park, or a cozy afternoon of storytelling and painting, I’m committed to helping children thrive in a caring and stimulating environment.
If you're looking for a dedicated, bilingual, and enthusiastic nanny who brings warmth, creativity, and structure to your child’s day, I’d love to hear from you!
My Experience
I’ve been working in childcare since 2019 and have gained a wide range of experience caring for children of all ages, both in nursery and home settings. My journey began at Nelly’s Nursery in Dulwich, where I worked for two years. During this time, I developed a strong foundation in early years education and child development, learning how to create structured, nurturing environments for young children while supporting their physical, emotional, and cognitive growth.
After my time at the nursery, I transitioned into private nannying, caring for 5-year-old twins for two years. This role involved full nursery and school routines, including morning preparations, drop-offs and pick-ups, cooking healthy meals, organising play-based learning activities, managing household tidying related to the children, and maintaining a consistent routine that supported their energy and development. I loved the balance of structure and creativity that came with managing twins and ensuring both children’s needs were equally met.
Since 2021, I’ve been a full-time nanny for a lovely family with two siblings—a girl aged 2 and a boy aged 4 when I started. I’ve worked with this family up to the present day and have become deeply involved in all aspects of the children’s care and daily life. My responsibilities have included preparing nutritious meals for the entire family, doing children’s laundry, planning engaging and educational outings, helping with homework, and supporting both children as they’ve prepared for JAGS and DC school assessments. I’ve arranged and supervised playdates, taken them to various after-school clubs, and created developmentally appropriate activities to help them grow both physically and academically. It's been incredibly rewarding to support their learning and emotional development over time, and to watch them flourish into confident, curious individuals.
In addition to my full-time position, I’ve also been working part-time with another local family in Dulwich since June 2023. I started with them when their baby girl was just six months old. My support has included age-appropriate play, sensory activities, nap routines, weaning and meal prep, and attending local baby groups. This role has allowed me to stay closely connected with early infant development and support the unique needs of a growing baby.
My experience across multiple families and age groups has made me adaptable, organised, and deeply committed to fostering a positive, safe, and nurturing environment for the children in my care. I believe in building genuine relationships with the families I work with and always strive to become a trusted and reliable presence in their lives.

I have A level qualifications as well as a level 3 PT and gym instructing qualification.
