About Dorothy
Experience: 7 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
Where to begin... I'm an energetic retiree who has many more than seven years of child care experience. My beliefs run along the lines of education in reading, music, and language skills. My specialty is infants and toddlers. My experience includes children with Autism, Down Syndrome, and congenital deafness. I have a smattering of French, Italian and ASL to offer. I am the entertainment in your child's life. TV is not. I'm creative, have a wonderful sense of humor, an enviable vocabulary, and kids always have fun with me. And, here's the kicker: I was a Union Carpenter for 30 years.

If you are lucky enough to have this person join your home you will have enriched not only the life of your child but every living and breathing thing there. Dorothy P. has cared for my family for three years; from the plants to the grandparents everyone benefited from her presence here. Thanks to her my daughter knows Italian French and a ASL ; she is punctual, always 15 minutes early. she has never been deterred from work no matter how inclement the weather. She makes the most amazing meatballs, from scratch of course, and has taught my daughter how to play an almost lost art in this day of screens and apps, and even introduced her to beautiful music from around the world.
