About Patricia
Experience: 8 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I love babies, young children, and animals and being a part of children's' health, happiness, and development. When my son was a young child, I was a licensed home day-care provider for infants through children aged seven. I have an Associates Degree in Child Development and Bachelors in Psychology. Working with families with young children was my main focus as a Case Worker/Manager. Over the years, I've helped care for the children in my immediate and extended family. After ending my full-time employment, I've provided in-home child care for several years before COVID became a pandemic and once again since COVID has calmed down a bit. I'm really looking forward to the part-time caring of a another child.

I highly recommend Patty as an outstanding nanny. She is incredibly dependable and has a warm, loving, and friendly demeanor. My son absolutely adores her and eagerly awaits her visits. Patty has been a wonderful addition to our family, creating a nurturing and joyful environment for my child.
