About Patricia
Experience: 10 yrs
Hello! My name is Patricia. I'm a psychologist from Venezuela with over 12 years of experience supporting children and families. I specialize in caring for infants and children with special needs (including autism, ADHD, cancer, and developmental differences), and I offer a warm, playful, and thoughtful approach to every family I work with. I've been a nanny and developmental play partner in Chicago for the past 9 years, where I've supported bilingual language learning, emotional development, and creative play. I love painting, drawing, singing, and exploring the outdoors with children. I'm fluent in Spanish and love teaching it through music and everyday conversation. I also have experience supporting neuro diverse children and their families, offering a calm, respectful, and joyful environment for each child to thrive. I bring professional, heart-centered care and great local references. Thank you.
Most recent review
Patricia was an excellent babysitter for my baby. From the very beginning, she made us feel confident and at ease. Her background as a psychologist gives her a special sensitivity and understanding with children. Being bilingual is also such a great bonus. A was happy, safe, and very well cared for. I 100% recommend Patricia—she is responsible, caring, and truly professional.
