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
We loved having Patricia’s help with our 2 under 2! Patricia watched our toddler and infant all day, M-F, for three weeks, and we only wish we could have worked with her longer! She is incredibly warm and empathetic and she bonded with our kids very quickly. She was undaunted by the challenge of two children and very attentive to our their unique needs. Patricia is well connected in our local nanny community, so every trip to the park was like a playdate! We very highly recommend Patricia!
