Hi! I'm Patty! I'm a bilingual English/Spanish nanny with nearly 20 years of real-life parenting and caregiving experience. I started raising my two bonus kids at 19, and they're now amazing, thriving adults. I'm also a mom to an ultra-independent teenager who keeps me on my toes!
Most of my nanny experience is with newborns through 6, but I've cared for all ages.
I intentionally keep my circle of clients small so I can offer flexible, personalized care. I'm happy to help with occasional, backup, or short-notice care when available. I'm a mom at heart, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your child is safe, loved, and genuinely cared for. I'm based in Miami, have a clean driving record, am a non-smoker, and I'm happy to travel. I'm also an animal lover and offer care. I'd love to meet your family!
Xo,

Patty has been a wonderful nanny for our daughter. She is so respectful of the way we want to parent, and takes care to make sure she handles things the way we want. She is so thoughtful in making activities for our daughter, and is simply a fantastic person!

​Patty was our nanny for 10 months caring for our two-year-old son, L.  and she was exceptional from day one. She is trustworthy, incredibly dependable, and brings a fun, engaging energy that helped our son truly blossom and come out of his shell.
​
Her communication and flexibility were unmatched—she frequently accommodated last-minute schedule changes, covered unexpected childcare gaps, and looked after Luca for weekend travel so we never had to worry. We trust Patty implicitly and give her our highest recommendation as a nanny or babysitter for children of any age!

I have known Patty for over 20 years. She is a wonderful mother and stepmother. I have learned so much about motherhood with her and being her friend is a treat her love for children, her authentic self and love for animals is beautiful grateful I have a friend that can both watch my child and or take care of my beloved pets

Patty cared for my son on a full-time basis starting when he was just two weeks old (yes, WEEKS!) because I had to immediately return to work as a single mother. She was his nanny—and so much more—until he was almost three, at which point my son and her daughter started attending the same daycare. From the very beginning, they grew up together like siblings.

My son also grew up surrounded by Patty’s family, and I will always be grateful for the way they lovingly adopted us into their family. What started as a nanny relationship became something so much more meaningful. Sixteen years later, Patty is one of my best friends, and she is still someone my son considers a second mom.

She has been there for birthdays, holidays, family vacations, milestones, and so many of life’s important moments. She has loved my son genuinely and wholeheartedly from the very beginning, and that kind of love is something you simply cannot put a price on.

I am incredibly grateful for Patty—for her heart, her consistency, her nurturing nature, and the genuine love she gives to the children in her care. She didn’t just take care of my son; she became part of our family.

I recommend Patty wholeheartedly and without hesitation. Anyone who has the opportunity to have her care for their child is truly lucky.

Transformative, Creative, and Deeply Loving Nanny-  An Absolute Gem!
As a grandmother living in Boston, it can be tough to feel connected to my grandson’s daily life in Florida. However, the positive impact, Patty, his nanny has had on his personality is so profound that I can see it clearly from hundreds of miles away.
She is extremely reliable and consistent, which provides the perfect foundation of trust. Because she cared for an active toddler, safety is always her top concern. She maintains total vigilance while simultaneously creating a world of fun and exploration.
Before she started, my grandson was quiet, shy, and slow to warm up to new situations. She completely took him out of his shell. She is a brilliant, incredible artist who designs elaborate, custom Lego displays daily just to intrigue him and spark  his curiosity. They spend their days dancing, laughing, and having pure fun. Because of her encouraging and motivating energy, he is now eager to try new things and warms up to people and situations so much faster.
She doesn’t just watch a child, she intentionally builds their confidence, creativity, and joy. My daughter ‘s family recently relocated, which is the only reason we are losing her. Any family on Care.com would be remarkably lucky to have her. She has our family’s highest, most enthusiastic recommendation!

Patty is an excellent caregiver. She took care of my 2 1/2 year-old grandson for over a  year.  She is very loving and experienced and was able to teach him many things that others  couldn’t She was patient yet firm which was necessary since he was a little spoiled. I was very impressed with herncaregiving qualities and I highly recommend her.



Patty has been amazing.  I highly recommend working with her.  She cares for my one year old son regularly.  He really enjoys her playful but calm energy.  I also find it really comfortable to be around her, which can be hard to find.  Thank you, Patty!

I cannot express enough how truly grateful I am for Patty's exceptional care and support during the months that she baby sat for me. At the time I contacted her, I was m a new parent to my 7-week-old baby, those early days were overwhelming, and I was unsure of what to expect. Patty not only provided top-notch babysitting, but she became a calming, steady presence in both my baby's and my own life. 

Her attentiveness, patience, and nurturing spirit were evident from day one. She didn’t just care for my baby; she bonded with him, learning his cues and building a comforting routine that helped him thrive. There were moments when I felt completely drained, unsure if I could handle it all, but knowing that Patty was there made everything more manageable. She was always on time, reliable, and went above and beyond in every way possible. 

What truly sets Patty apart is her emotional support. She was there for me in the toughest moments, offering advice, listening with empathy, and even lightening the mood when I needed it most. I honestly don't know how I would have made it through this challenging chapter without her. Patty’s dedication to my baby's well-being and her genuine care for our family are something I will always be thankful for.

I can confidently say that Patty is not just a babysitter—she is a true lifesaver, and I feel incredibly lucky to have had her by our side. I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat. If you want someone who is reliable, compassionate, and genuinely invested in your child’s well-being, Patty is the one.

I recently had the pleasure of hiring Patty to babysit my two children, and I cannot recommend her services highly enough! From the moment she arrived, her warm and friendly demeanor made both my kids and me feel immediately at ease.
 
Patty has a natural talent for engaging with children, and she quickly established a fun and safe environment. My kids loved her creative approach to playtime, which included a mix of educational games and imaginative activities that kept them entertained for hours. She even introduced them to a new craft project that they have continued to enjoy.
 
Communication with Patty was smooth and clear. She is highly responsible and attentive to detail, ensuring she understood our family's specific routines and any special requirements. I was particularly impressed by her ability to handle unexpected situations with calm and confidence, which truly speaks to her experience and professionalism.
 
Additionally, Patty demonstrates a genuine passion for her work. She always goes above and beyond, not only meeting but exceeding my expectations every time. Her reliability and punctuality made it easy for me to feel completely comfortable leaving my children in her care.
 
If you're looking for a trustworthy, caring, and fun babysitter, look no further than Patty. She will treat your children as if they were her own, and you can rest assured they will be in excellent hands. I am so grateful for the peace of mind she provides, knowing that my kids are happy and safe.
 
Thank you, Patty, for your outstanding service. We look forward to having you back soon!

I’ve known Patty for many many many many years, she is by definition a second mom to me. She’s been my stepmother for over 15 years and has been there for me every step of the way and has done everything in her power to help and care for me along with my 2 biological sisters and even a boy who holds no family relation to me that I’ve watched her babysit for 10+ years that I’d call my little brother. Even now that we’re all grown up she still takes it upon herself to help and care for her friend who is a first time mom and her baby since they’ve gotten home from the hospital everyday for the past 2 weeks. She is a great mom, a great babysitter, a great pet-sitter, she is someone who understands and cares.

However / Whenever / Whoever she can help, she chooses to be there every single day

Patricia was truly a blessing to hire and she felt like family. I would hire her over and over again. Very Professional 

Patty was my nanny from when I was 2 weeks old until I went to daycare. After that, her and her family always kept in touch and I consider them family now. love her so much!!

Such an amazing person—she took care of my daughter for a few days while I was on vacation.
