Paola Giaimo is the traditional Italian-born mother of Vinny Guadagnino. She made several appearances on Jersey Shore, The Show with Vinny, and Jersey Shore: Family Vacation. She is the sister of Nino Giaimo.

Jersey Shore

Season 1

Paola and several members of Vinny's family visit him at the Shore House. She makes them a feast, stands over them as they eat, cleans up, and brings him clothes. She reminds Snooki of her grandmother and Pauly of his mom.

Paola is usually seen seeing Vinny off when he leaves for the shore. She made occasional visits throughout, making the roommates feel a bit at home when she comes by and cooks for them.

The Show with Vinny

To be added.

Jersey Shore: Family Vacation

Many of Paola's appearances consist of her visiting the roommates or her son. Nino also is always at her house. Several times she has cooked meals for the roommates, often making too much food as a typical Italian mother.
