About Patricia
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
Having worked previously in the Fairfax County school system as a fifth grade teacher I know what it takes to provide loving and educational care for children. I am silly and love to explore nature and do hands on crafts. I enjoy hanging out, teaching, cooking, and housework chores. Let me know how I can help! I have been a repeat dog walker for an 110 pound Akita for 6 years. 2x a week repeat caretaker for a Rat Terrier and lizard, and current daily care for 3 horses, 1 dog, and a cat. I am an equine and dog trainer.

Patricia watched our daughter full-time from 1 year to 5 years. We could not have managed the stresses of home, family and work without Patricia. We trusted her to watch our daughter full-time, take her to activities and doctor appointments. Patricia not only is a trusted caregiving her our daughter, but is trusted by the entire neighborhood. She has watched over many play dates with children in the neighborhood. Patricia helped with meals, household responsibilities and any additional needs. Patricia cares about the safety of the children in her care and creating an environment that encourages age appropriate learning and social development. The only reason Patricia is not still with us full-time is because our daughter started kindergarten in August.
