I’ve babysat and had nanny jobs since being a teenager, I’ve always loved babies and kids! I worked at an afterschool program for a total of 5 years as well. I have three sons of my own and truly love every stage kids go through! I have always found it easy and natural to connect with kids of every age. I genuinely care about them and the experiences they are having and love becoming like an older sister/auntie figure in their life. I love being present with them! I find playing games, playing sports, being creative, or just hanging out can be such fun opportunities that bring real connection.

Hi my name is Patty I'm a tutor in the Birmingham/Bloomfield Hills MI area. I have a graduate degree from Michigan State University in Special Education with an endorsement from the state of Michigan in learning disabilities. I focus primarily with K-8 students in reading, writing, and math.

Patty had been tutoring my son for 3 years and we absolutely love her. She is a teacher in Birmingham schools where she specializes in working with children who have learning challenges. She has helped my son with reading fluency, comprehension, and math skills. I highly recommend her for supplemental educational needs.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
