About Patricia

Experience: 3 yrs

Hi! I'm Patricia, a college student studying engineering with a long-term goal of becoming a teacher. I've spent the past three years regularly providing childcare, alongside four summers as a theater camp counselor leading groups of 10+ kids. Because of that, I absolutely love playing pretend, dressing up, and getting creative! As important as play is, I'm equally comfortable enforcing household rules. I'm comfortable caring for up to four children of all ages. I have a clean driving record, and my own vehicle. I would be happy to do pick ups or take kids to the park or other adventures. Upon request, I can provide tutoring to prevent the "summer slump" or organize fun, age-appropriate activities that promote learning like science experiments and crafts. I am also happy to help with meals, light housekeeping, and drop offs/pick ups. I value keeping a reliable line of communication with you. I'm excited to bring my energy and dedication into your home to help your family thrive!

We had Patricia babysit for over 3 years, and she quickly became part of our family. We have several young kids with very different personalities and needs, and she always handled them so well. She’s patient, calm, fun, and somehow able to balance everyone at once without ever seeming overwhelmed. A huge thing for us was how great she was with separation anxiety, especially with some of our younger kids. She always made them feel safe and comfortable, and they genuinely looked forward to her coming over. They absolutely love her. When she left for college and couldn’t babysit regularly anymore, my kids were genuinely upset and missed her so much. As someone with a background in child welfare, I don’t take trusting someone with my children lightly. Having someone dependable and safe is the most important thing to me, and she has always been exactly that. I never had to worry when my kids were with her. I honestly can’t recommend her enough. Any family would be lucky to have her.
