"Patricia has helped us immensely while vacationing in Florida. My daughter absolutely loves her and thinks of her as an auntie. Patricia is very resourceful and always comes up with great activities to do with my daughter, from beach day, to pool days and tons of arts and craft activities. She is also very reliable and has never left me in a bind. Any family would be lucky to have her."

"There was an instant connection with my kids and Patricia when we first met. She has such a welcoming and nurturing aura about her. Her background in education also played a big role in why we chose her to be a part of our family. My kids love her and I absolutely loved her passion, devotion and determination to make sure that my kids had everything that they needed to feel loved, safe and cared for. She was truly is amazing and the minute she was introduced to my kids I realized the difference, not only just the extra help but also all the learning that was happening them and how their vocabulary developed when she was with them. I am forever grateful for her guidance and such dedication to the wellbeing of my kids. Anyone would be so lucky to have her!"

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I have managed several summer camps, including my most recent role this past summer as Co-Art Director at American Heritage. Additionally, I have taught art at the Museum of Art in Coral Springs and ran my own after-school and parent date night programs. These programs included activities such as baking, cooking, science experiments, arts and crafts, and various games, all designed to engage and inspire children.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy engaging in arts and crafts, science experiments, and baking with kids, as these activities nurture their creativity, spark curiosity, and encourage exploration.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny, for me, is becoming a part of the family and building strong, trusting relationships. I genuinely want the best for the child or children I care for, and I dedicate myself to supporting their overall well-being. This means being actively involved in their academic, social, emotional, and physical development, ensuring they feel nurtured and encouraged in every aspect of their lives. I take pride in creating a positive, loving environment where they can thrive and grow.

My experience with special needs children...

I have been teaching for 26 years and have extensive experience working with children with special needs. I have personally tutored these students and created differentiated lessons in my classroom to tailor to their individual needs, helping them close learning gaps and build the self-confidence needed to thrive and feel included.
