Antonia Paz - 27yrs

Hi! I’m one of four siblings, plus a swarm of ten-something cousins who were basically permanent houseguests growing up, so I’ve never really known life without kids around, and I like it that way. The last five years I’ve looked after children from 4 to 16, and my whole approach is just paying attention to what each kid is actually obsessed with that week and going from there (dinosaurs, drawing, elaborate made-up rules to games only they understand or more complex things such as movies or music). I speak Spanish and English, so a bit of both tends to sneak in. By trade I’m a film editor, which mostly means I’m good at being patient and noticing small things — turns out that translates well to hanging out with tiny humans, who are usually the most interesting people in any room.
