About Patty

It takes a village. I'm committed to partnering with busy, working parents... AND I love being around little ones because they help me keep life in perspective. I especially enjoy working with those in the 0-5 range, supporting them during the most crucial stages of development and learning. Witnessing little ones discover the world around them is incredibly special. I have a background in social work (MSW); I've worked for mission based non-profits in the Portland area, most recently working with families of children who have special healthcare and behavioral needs. Compassion and empathy are part of who I am, and I bring a calm, grounded presence to all that I do. I'm incredibly reliable and committed to good communication- returning calls, emails and texts in a timely fashion. I'm always ready to roll up my sleeves and help out with additional tasks around the home (light cleaning, meal prep, laundry, etc).
