Cristina Patti, Licensed Childcare Provider

Children have always been the heart of my world. Growing up, I learned from the best—my mother—who dedicated over 30 years to running her own home daycare. Our house was constantly alive with the laughter of little ones and the comforting scent of Italian cooking!

 

​​As a licensed childcare provider in Massachusetts, I'm CPR and First Aid Certified, I have a clear criminal background check and hold current certifications and training in child development.

Since launching my first family daycare, Nina's Daycare, in Lexington back in 2018, I’ve known I found my true calling. Now located in Belmont, I feel incredibly lucky to spend my days nurturing children and supporting their families. It isn’t just a job; it’s my greatest joy.

TESTIMONIALS

Cassia T.

Nina's daycare is a gem!  Nina focuses on small groups and always makes it a priority to have the kids outside as much as possible, getting fresh air and sunshine! She has such a wonderful way with my daughter and the other kids. From singing songs in Italian to wonderful lunches and snacks she makes herself, Nina is an incredible caregiver. I cannot imagine anyone else who could take better care of my little one!

Erica S.

​Nina cares for your child as though they were her own.   I feel so comfortable dropping my son off with her. She checks in with me throughout the day...with his sleep patterns, what he has eaten, if he’s happy or doing something new, and just to send me cute pictures. My son is always learning and engaged in some sort of play activity, and it’s evident by his reaction each time we get to her house in the morning that he’s happy to be there. Her house is always clean and has all of the safety precautions needed. She provides delicious homemade food for the kids. She goes above and beyond what a daycare provider should do, and we love her for it.

Meri C.
