About Patty

I have been a compassionate and empathetic person my whole life. I have had a career in teaching, where I worked with special needs children for 8 years. I also had a career as an art therapist where I worked with children through geriatric clients in a children's residential home, hospitals, a day care for the elderly, a housing project, and addiction center. I have worked with physical, mental, and emotional issues and love helping people and try to help them feel more positive. I'm a good cook and also love cooking and baking. A personal achievement of mine was working with physically and mentally challenged toddlers and preschoolers. The slightest growth was a huge achievement. I had great relationships with the children and their parents. It was such an accomplished feeling. Tuning into a person at the level they are at is extremely important to me.

My Personality's is being motivated no matter what situation it is and staying organized for mating what is needed for the day.
