Experience: 10 yrs
I have extensive experience caring for newborns, infants, and young children, including premature babies and twins. The everyday care that comes with babies- bottles, diapers, naps, soothing, and lots of cuddles and attention-is second nature to me. I know those early weeks and months can be wonderful, exhausting, overwhelming, and sometimes all three before breakfast. I believe in positive reinforcement and creating an environment where children are able to thrive. I have been there. I know how hard it is to leave your child in someone else's care. My goal is for your child to enjoy our time together and for you to leave knowing they are with someone who genuinely enjoys caring for them and understands the trust you are placing in me. Being trusted with someone's child is an honor and responsibility I never take lightly. Please check my references for more about my infant experience, including caring for children who required additional care due to medical conditions.
We highly recommend Patricia (PJ) G for your childcare needs. She worked with our family in our home four days a week as a childcare provider for our twin daughters, beginning when they were four months old, from October 2019 through November 2024. I was saddened to learn that PJ would be moving out of state to be closer to family. She became like a member of our family, and we will miss her greatly. However, I am happy she will have the opportunity to spend more time with her own family and am confident she will bring the same comfort and peace of mind to her next employer. As a caregiver, PJ was extremely caring, compassionate, and flexible. She consistently arrived early or on time and handled the challenges of caring for two infants who grew into busy toddlers with remarkable patience. She was excellent at communicating with us about the girls' activities and well-being throughout the day, always maintaining a professional and thoughtful demeanor. While she prioritized following our parenting preferences, her extensive childcare experience—both with her own children and other families—proved invaluable to us as new parents. PJ made a positive and lasting impact on our family. PJ always went above and beyond for us. For example, she made last-minute alterations to flower girl dresses for our daughters this past September. She also helped us preserve cherished memories through photos and creative craft projects she worked on with the girls. PJ was instrumental in helping the girls prepare for preschool and kindergarten, engaging them with educational activities. She also provided safe and reliable transportation to and from their half-day preschool program, helping us navigate many important transitions seamlessly. we recommend PJ’s services highly to families seeking a reliable, honest, and dedicated caregiver.
