About Patricia

Experience: 10 yrs

I received my degree in Child Psychology in 1997. I believe it is imperative to have a stable and loving environment. I have a passion for nurturing and educating young minds. My journey in childcare began with fulfilling babysitting roles, where I discovered the joy of positively impacting children's lives. My approach to childcare is centered around patience, creativity, and open communication. I believe in fostering a nurturing environment where children feel safe, respected, and encouraged to explore their full potential. As a highly organized and responsible caregiver, I'm adept at managing daily routines, ensuring a balance of educational activities, physical play, and relaxation. I'm comfortable enforcing household rules while maintaining a positive and nurturing atmosphere.

From the very first time I spoke with her I knew I was in good hands. We talked as we drove to my appointment which helped me not be nervous. When I was done she drove me home and we also chatted about life. It really helped things feel more normal for me. This was my first procedure since I became a widow so it was helpful to have someone that felt like a friend. I felt very safe with her and knew with her help today would be much easier than I thought. She was totally worth it.
