About Patty

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I have a deep passion for working with children of all ages. As a former homeschool mom of four, including a special needs child, and an educational professional with over a decade of experience, I have gained extensive knowledge in childhood development. I believe strongly in the importance of fostering social, physical, emotional, spiritual and educational growth from a young age. My goal is to create an atmosphere of peace, security, and confidence, ensuring that families can fully enjoy their time together in the evenings. I respect and uphold family routines and values while incorporating creativity through crafts and engaging activities. I believe in positive reinforcement as a guiding principle for discipline, helping children feel supported and encouraged in their development.

Patty is the best! We feel so lucky to have Patty as our nanny - she’s truly the best we’ve ever had! Patty’s patience, love, warmth, and creativity has made a difference in our children’s lives and our family as a whole. She has become family! She has a natural ability to connect with kids. She is incredibly dependable and a great communicator. If you are looking for someone who will treat your family like her own and with kindness and care, Patty is the one. We cannot recommend her enough!
