Jagruti Patel

Jagruti Patel is lovingly known as JJ around Harbor Child Care. Jagruti is the Senior Director of Business and has been working with Harbor Child Care since February 2011. She first started working in the human resources office on a part-time basis, along with helping at all centers when needed, before moving permanently to the business office to work full time with Nick Katos, Harbor’s Senior Director/CFO. Together, Nick and JJ handle payroll, billing, vendors, payments, and other financial-related work.

Jagruti has a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering from India and a Master’s degree in Business Management. Her career was mainly in information technology for over 10 years before giving it all up to raise her daughter. Upon her return to the world of business, Jagruti was fortunate enough to have found employment with Harbor Child Care and considers it to be “her home away from home.”
