Ms. Martha's Neighborschool

At Patico's Home Daycare, I strive to let children feel the warmth and comfort of their own home.

My nickname is Patico, which means duckling in Spanish. Ever since I was a little girl, I have always had a passion and love for other children. I was always the one taking care of and mentoring the other children in my family and neighborhood.

I have always enjoyed, the lightness and silliness that children bring to life. I admire how the curiosity of a child's mind can bring everything into perspective and help us to see things differently. I truly cherish the wonder and magic children bring with them everywhere they go.


Helping families raise their children is not a job for me, it is truly my calling.

In my home, every child will have the opportunity to just be a child, something I feel our very fast paced world is losing. Every child will have a safe place to explore who they are and what they like. They will be guided towards a path of kindness and mindfulness of others and their surroundings.
