Paula Sanchez

Mariposas Camp Guide (Toddler Group)
CPR/First Aid Certified

Paula Sanchez was born in Bogota, Colombia where she lived for several years. Paula moved to
Austin, Texas at age six with her mom. She learned English through elementary school and was
in bilingual classes until 4th grade. Learning a new language as a child took practice but Paula
enjoyed the different and fun ways to learn. She loves that children are able to learn about the
Hispanic culture through art, music, and food. The importance of being bilingual in this country
has increased through the years and being able to help is an amazing feeling. Paula is a YCC/
Toddler Guide at The Headwaters School where she has been teaching for almost 6 years. She
believes that being a teacher can help make a difference in a child’s life. Paula loves and enjoys
getting to know each individual student and finding unique ways to teach them.
