Recent reference

"I cannot recommend Patricia enough.She is kind, calm, patient, loving, dependable, capable and flexible. We moved from NY to CA in 2022. Our children were adjusting to many new changes: a new city, new school, new routines, two new homes, and losing their long-term nanny. She is responsible, smart, organized and a self-starter. She easily became a part of our lives, our children formed a connection with her quickly and she was the constant link for them, helping us to communicate between homes and ensure consistency in schedules, feeding, school activities, homework, clothing. Most importantly, she is first and foremost incredible with children. She truly loves and cares for them like they are her own. She is always focused on them, not distracted with her phone or social media and is wonderful with creative activities and imaginative play, and can also supervise homework with our older son. With Patricia you truly get the whole package."
