I am an immigrant from the Philippines and a mother of 2 boys, ages 19 and 16. I'm an expert when it comes to changing diapers, bathing, dressing, food preparation, tutoring and playing with kids. I have 14 years of experience as a hired babysitter. I used to care for kids ages 2months-8years old to 4 different families in San Diego. These kids have been with me since they were weeks old until we moved to Colorado in September 2021. My job will end on October 24th and will be available afterwards. I prefer families living in Erie/Lafayette

Very reliable, wonderful with the kids. Takes the time and care to make sure their needs are met. Prompt communication. Always punctual. Keeps me updated about the kids often. Goes over the top giving them amazing hair styles, and cleaning up after the other priorities are done.

Patricia was great with our infant. She is very knowledgeable, which was great since our boy was struggling with re-flux. She helped around the house and with laundry without us even having to ask. Would definitely hire again and highly recommend.

Patty has been so amazing with my 10 month old son. He lights up every time he sees her. Before we hired Patty it was so hard to get him to nap but she got us into a really good routine and helped us start sleep training. It's so much easier to get him to sleep now and he's much happier because he's not tired and cranky in the evenings. Patty also gets him out and about so he can experience new places and see new things. I'm so happy that I found Patty and am really grateful to have someone I trust taking care of my son while I work.

Patty is wonderful! If you can hire her you will be lucky! She was above and beyond helpful because I had a surgery and needed some extra support. Kind, punctual, will be flexible to how you do things with your kiddo. Couldn't recommend highly enough! Thank you Patty!

Patricia has been so great with my 18 month old son. I would recommend her to a family with kids of any age.

We had Patty babysit our 5 and 3 year old kids a few times while I was home working from the other room. She was excellent at playing with them both, feeding them snack, and even got them to sit down to read with her and assisted them in tidying up their rooms. She ended up getting a regular position during the times we needed her and then we moved out of state, otherwise would have had her back more often!! I highly recommend :)

If you need your children in good hands, Ms. Patricia is the caregiver you need to hire.

My children loved her!!! We miss you, Ms. Patricia!!!

I am so thankful we found Patty to help us raise our baby girl! Patty started with us last fall when our daughter was about 4 months old, and is still working with us now part-time. She provides attentive, motherly care and has helped us transition with every stage as our daughter grows into a running, babbling toddler! Our daughter loves seeing her in the morning and always seems to have a fun (and safe) day of activities and excursions. We also have two elderly dogs and Patty helps us manage them throughout the day as well. I highly recommend her!

Patty has been a saving grace for us.  She is experienced, knowledgeable, organized, reliable and takes initiative.  For example, our newborn babies cried a lot with my husband and I, but with Patty they didn't.  She was willing to explain her techniques to me when I asked, and has taught us so much this way. 
Patty cares for the babies with kindness and consistency, and they've been thriving with her.  I cannot recommend her highly enough!

We needed someone who could watch our two daughters, who were 5 months and 3 years old when we hired her. When we read Patricia's profile we knew that we wanted to hire her. She is amazing with my daughters and they both are VERY excited to see her when she comes to our house. She does imaginative play, crafts, works on language, works on manners, and some light housekeeping. Patty is very patient with both girls and has what I would define as a positive discipline approach.  Our situation is unique, I work graveyard shifts and I am often sleeping in the house while she is there. With COVID my schedule changed and I needed care on days we hadn't before. Patricia is very flexible and she communicates well.   My husband and I have felt at ease with her and I have never once worried. In many ways Mrs. Patty has become like an extension of our family!

First time hiring someone who is not related to our family/friend had made me nervous. Right after I saw Patricia's application, I knew right away that she is the right babysitter to my two babies(2 yrs old toddler and 4 months old new born). She is always on time and very dependable when you need her. Patricia also immediately bonded with my 2 yrs old baby girl(she was sad when Patricia was leaving after the 3rd time they met) I am very particular to certain standard when it comes to my babies, she has followed all my instructions and met my expectations. She is currently taking care of my two babies 2 days a week(6-8 hrs). I would recommend Patricia if you are looking for someone who can treat your babies as her own. 

Patty is wonderful. Being a first time user of child care, as well as being overprotective parents in the first place, we were nervous about hiring someone we did not already know to take care of our children. We have never used child care outside of our own extended family members to help with our two girls (20 months and 3 months). Finding Patty here was the best thing that could ever happen with us. She is patient when our eldest one when she throws a tantrum and attentive to our youngest one when she wants to be carried all the time. She reads with them, plays games, trips to the park and indoor playground and pool. Basically able to pick up where we left of when we have work or activities that we need to attend to. Patty is very good at what she does and would recommend her wholeheartedly.

I was initially concerned to have a babysitter for my firstborn infant who was 3 months. Patricia eased my mind towards it. My baby is 5 months now and I feel comfortable and at ease. I will recommend Patricia because she really is good at what she does.

My son is almost 8 months old and he has grown so much over the past few months into such a happy, healthy baby hitting all his major milestones like sitting up, transitioning to eating solid foods & learning to crawl.  His rapid development is influenced by those constantly around him and one of those positive influences has been Patty. We have been blessed to find Patty as our part time sitter and she has been very dependable, interactive, and devotes her full attention to my son when she is around him.  She communicates any concerns that may arise and has constant happy energy that my son enjoys being around. Patty is a natural with kids and provides attentive care keeping track of his feeding and nap schedule in a journal I provide with notes made so I can review his progress when I get home.  She is a wonderful presence around my son and has my highest recommendation!

Ms. Patty worked for our family as a part time babysitter (3 days a week) from June 2012 to October 2013. She primarily took care of our daughter, who was only 10 months old when she started working for us. (When my 10 year old son was off school, she would also watch him.) Ms. Patty did not only meet our daughter's basic needs, she went above and beyond by showing genuine care and love for our daughter. She practically helped us in raising her and she treated her like her own child. She has become part of our family. 
She paid attention to details and followed instructions consistently. I am very particular and have an "OCD" personality, but she never failed me. Punctual - always on time. Informed me and my husband in a timely manner if there was a delay due to certain uncontrollable circumstances. Physically active - interacted and played with our daughter, took our daughter to our backyard or nearby park to play (not just put a child in front of the TV). Smart - read books to our daughter and kept our daughter educationally entertained.
Very reliable, dependable, and most of all, trustworthy. 

When our daughter turned 2, Ms. Patty also started her full time job. We were sad that we had to part, but it's what's best for her and for our daughter, since our daughter started going to Daycare as soon as she turned 2. Despite her already having a full time job, she still considered our daughter's needs and agreed to gradually end her service. She still came to our home for 2 hours twice a week until our daughter got accustomed to her new routines.

Up to this day, we still remain in contact with her. Like I've said, she has become part of our family. We will forever be grateful for the kindness she has shown us.
