Hello families! My name is Patricia and children are my passion! Ever since I can remember I have always wanted to be surrounded by children, and it was my life long goal to obtain some type of career that would immerse me into an environment with them. I grew up as the eldest child and only daughter so I gained a good amount of experience babysitting my brothers, but as I got older I held several babysitting jobs throughout high school. In April of 2017, I became a mother myself to my beautiful daughter and have enjoyed ever bit of it! In college, I obtained my Associate Degree of Arts with a concentration in Psychology and I am currently in pursuit of my Bachelor Degree in Psychology. I am bilingual (Spanish) and I enjoy playing any sort of sport but my favorites would be swimming, running and softball. In my Read more experience children love to be entertained and just listened to and rest assured I will be there for your child(ren) in any way they need me, whether that be homework help, or playtime I can be trusted on to provide your child(ren) with their every need :) I look forward to meeting you and your children and being an integral part of their life!
