I’m an educator of 29 years including elementary, middle, and high school. I am an instructional coach for my day job. I have a Bachelors, Masters, and a Specialist degree. I can house sit, take care of infants, and kids under or over 10. I’m a mentor of kids and teachers with 20+ years experience. I also write children’s books - “Jacoby the BumbleBee” on Amazon. I love kids, and I do not play about kids. They are precious and a blessing. I am an empty nester. I live in Lake Spivey, a gated and beautiful community. I have three astute, adult kids. My oldest is a child and adult therapist along with her husband Dr. L. My second is a 20 year cancer survivor and was an actor extra at Tyler Perry Studios in the movie “Wakanda Forever”. He loves acting in plays as well. My youngest is in the military, and was a gymnast in the Junior Olympics. She loves animals. They all attended college and live in Fayetteville and Peachtree City. I have two elementary school grandkids, and we recently went camping in Tallulah Falls and Tallulah Gorge State Park. We had a blast! We even roasted hotdogs and marshmallows making tantalizing s’mores. So yummy!! They spent some of their summer in Paris with a special visit to Disneyland. They took the Eurotrain to London to visit and engage in several sights including Big Ben. I am super excited about babies. I am a patient and kind woman. I love parents regardless of race, gender, political views, religion, education, and beliefs. I have high morals and values. I do not use profanity. I have never had a drink of alcohol or smoke ever in my life. I have never been arrested, and I’ve never had a mugshot. . I love to have fun, play games, travel, read, write, eat seafood, and watch documentaries and Disney movies. I love STEM activities! . I like to smile and laugh. I can also be firm and assertive. I have a passport if there is a need to accommodate you for overseas travel. I have a Gold membership for Carnival cruise too. I will take the kids right on to the camps and pick them up for dinner. I support date nights! Let’s travel the world! I also read to keep abreast of world views. I’m intelligent. I can be called Aunty Patty or Ms. Patty. I don’t mind helping with homework as I’m also the coordinator at my school for after school tutoring. I just love kids! It’s in my blood. I talk to kids. I can reach kids. They will have a voice with me, love me, and I will be present and a present to your kids. Was that a pun?
I hold a Bachelor’s degree from University of Massachusetts in Sociology, and a Master’s degree from Boston University in Education. I am certified in Elementary Education (K-5) for the state of Georgia. I am working on my certification as a Registered Behavior Therapist working with children on the Autism Spectrum. I have several years of hands-on caregiving experience working with children.. I’ve cared for children ranging from infants to pre-teens, assisting with daily routines, meal preparation, homework help, school drop-offs, and engaging activities that support their development. I always aim to create a safe, nurturing, and structured environment where kids feel comfortable and supported. In addition to childcare, I’ve provided senior care support, including companionship, medication reminders, light housekeeping, meal preparation, and assistance with mobility. I understand the importance of patience, empathy, and respect when working with older adults and I strive to help them maintain their independence while ensuring their safety and comfort. I’m dependable, compassionate, and highly organized. I communicate clearly with families and always prioritize safety. I’m calm under pressure, adaptable to changing needs, and genuinely enjoy helping others. My goal as a caregiver is to provide reliable, high-quality support while building trust and meaningful connections with the families I work with.
I am currently an educator and have been one for 23 years. I have a breadth of experience from birth to high school age children. I have three grown children of my own, a grandchild and 2 dogs.
