About Patricia
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I have extensive competencies working with children of all ages and backgrounds; both from previous jobs as a nanny, and from my current place of work at Seattle Children's Hospital for the Psychiatric Behavioral Medicine Unit (PBMU). I was one of two Guideline of Care specialists for the ASD program from 2022 to 2023 before the model of care changed to the current Bio Behavioral Program. I have experience working with special needs children, particularly those diagnosed with ASD, both verbal and nonverbal, as well as aiding with toileting. Most important skills to note are education and experience with child development (language and motor skills). Potty Training, basic sign language (commonly called baby sign language in many caregiver settings) cooking, baking, schedule management. I was also a swim instructor for children and adults for 6+ years. I am currently certified for Basic Life Support.

I can't say enough good things about Patricia. She took care of my two boys ( 5 and 6 years old) over the summer. We found her on care.com and boy, did we get lucky. My younger son can be challenging and she handled him with such grace. She had days planned out as far as what activities to do with the boys, she cooked fun things that they wanted ( sugar cookies from scratch), they made slime, went to the pool and my favorite part - CLEANED their rooms! She is not an idle body, so when boys were asleep in the morning, she would do housework. I came home one day to 3 loads of clean, folded laundry. How amazing was that. And few other things that are very important to me - she was very punctual, communication was timely and she sent me updates with pictures throughout the day of what boys were up to. I would highly recommend her.
