About Patricia
Experience: 8 yrs
I am a proactive, caring, and passionate early childhood educator with over 8 years of experience working with children; from infants and toddlers to elementary-aged kids. I build strong, trusting relationships with children, families, and staff through clear and compassionate communication. I thoughtfully observe each child's interests and use those insights to plan meaningful, engaging daily experiences. Most recently, I have been caring for a child from 6 months to 15 months old, and I'm now preparing to wrap up my time with this wonderful family. This experience has further deepened my commitment to supporting infants through their early milestones with patience, empathy, and intentional care. My goal is to create a nurturing, creative, and safe environment that supports each child's development. I focus on helping children understand their emotions, develop language, and gain independence by building essential self-help skills through play and purposeful interaction.
Most recent review
Pati was a nanny for my daughter from when she was 5 months old until 15 months old. Her early education knowledge, experience, and care are unmatched. She is creative and would come up with fun activities for her each day, utilizing toys we have plus her own Mary Poppins bag, incorporating everyday items or reusing recyclables for crafts for developmentally appropriate engagement. She offered ideas and suggestions during transitions (like eating solids) but always respected and listened to our preferences. She is bilingual and would sing Spanish songs with my daughter and teach her phrases in English and Spanish. She is also the reason my daughter took a bottle!The only reason we stopped care was because my daughter got off the waitlist at a Montessori program. I can’t say enough nice things about Pati and any child would be lucky to have her.
