About Patricia

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

Hi! My name is Pat, and I am currently caring for 1 child in Vernon Hills. I am seeking a single family placement or nanny-share to start shortly, full time, long-term only (40-50 hours weekly guaranteed.) My job description includes: infant - preteen care. I specialize in working with first time parents with: sleep training, feeding and sleeping schedules, baby self soothing techniques, teething, and introducing foods. Toddlers in my care benefit from my preschool teaching experience. Little one's will have fun with age appropriate art, story time, simple science, motor skills, speech skills, music, nature appreciation, outings, play dates, and general silliness! I believe in raising children in a positive and stress free environment, encouraging creativity and building self esteem.

Pat was absolutely amazing with our baby. Every single day was filled with delightful songs and captivating story-time sessions, creating a joyful and enriching environment for our little one. His face would light up with pure excitement and happiness every morning as soon as she walked into the room. Pat’s nurturing and cheerful presence made a significant impact on our baby's overall happiness and development. She not only took excellent care of our baby's physical needs but also paid great attention to his emotional and cognitive growth. Pat would engage him with age-appropriate activities that stimulated his curiosity and learning. Her patience and gentle approach created a sense of security and trust that is so essential for a child’s development. Moreover, Pat's dedication extended beyond our baby to our furry family members. She is truly a lover of animals and showed the same love and care to our pets as she did to our baby. Whether it was giving them treats, taking them for walks, or simply spending time cuddling, Pat made sure our pets felt loved and included. Pat's professionalism and reliability were also remarkable. She always arrived on time and was flexible with our schedule when needed. Her ability to handle various situations with calm and confidence reassured us that our baby and pets were in the best hands. In summary, Pat has been a blessing to our family. Her warmth, dedication, and exceptional caregiving skills have brought immense joy and peace of mind to our household. We are incredibly grateful for everything she has done and wholeheartedly recommend her to any family seeking a caring and devoted nanny.
