About Patricia

Experience: 6 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I took care of my mother for three years as her health was declining. I know what is needed for expert elder care. I am patient, kind, cheerful and compassionate. Now that my four children are grown, I use my skills to take care of an elderly person who needs a companion. I lived in the same home in Wilton for 25 years recently downsized to the Ridgefield/Danbury border. I have a college degree with a major in accounting. . I am very flexible with hours that are needed. Communication with the family is a priority for me. Fully vaccinated. If driving is necessary, I have a perfect record, stellar insurance and a new SUV I hope to hear from you to set up an interview. You will not be disappointed Please feel free to contact me. Sincerely, Patty

I have had both the honor and pleasure of knowing Patricia (Patty) for 16 years. We met as our children were both in Kindergarten. After a brief introduction on the first day of school, Patty called me to say "Hello, neighbor." In just that first conversation, Patty extended herself as my son's emergency contact, as she knew I was fairly new to town, and my family lived far away. From that moment on, I knew I had an incredibly reliable friend in Patty. As time moved along and our trust and friendship grew, my husband and I decided to ask both Patty and her husband to be legal guardians to our only child. Please know that we discussed this with our son, and he was quite comfortable with the thought of being handed over to Patty should something happen to us. Our son is so treasured in our hearts and finding the perfect guardian seemed impossible. But we knew that Patty not only loved him like a son, but she had his best interest at heart and would do all things necessary to make sure his life proceeded as we would want it to. I cannot imagine a better reference than this. Just yesterday, I was talking to my son, who is now 20 years old, and I told him about Patty working as an elder care companion. Without hesitation, his words were the following: "Perfect. Just Perfect for her. I can't imagine anyone more perfect for that job. She is reliable, gets the job done, advocates well, and most importantly is so jolly and spunky. She makes everyday feel like Christmas. She is what older people need to feel better." I so agree with my son's words and believe Patty would be totally awesome as one to care for the elderly. She did a fantastic job with her own Mom!!! If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me.
