About Barbara
Experience: 6 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
Hi there! My name is Barbara. I think I would be a great fit for your family. I have seven grandchildren and have been involved in raising them from the time they were infants. I LOVE little children and with all ages I have a great deal of patience. As well as helping with my grandchildren I have also nannied professionally. I am quite comfortable multitasking and don't easily get flustered. I enjoy cooking and can follow your favorite recipes or be more spontaneous and creative using what you have in your fridge, whichever you prefer. I am comfortable with driving as well. My academic background is in communication so verbal interaction is seldom lacking. In my former life I was a teacher, teaching public speaking and critical writing. Homework help, structure, all part of what I do. I would welcome the opportunity of meeting with you to see if we are a comfortable fit. Would love to chat.

Barbara worked for us for 2.5 years, caring for our two daughters (9 and 11 years old). She would drive them to and from school and take them to their afterschool activities. She would stay with them until we got home from work, helping with homework, making them snacks and talking / playing with them. My girls just adore Barbara and have a special bond with her. Even though we no longer needed full time help, Barbara still drives for us when she can, taking the girls to school some mornings and helping with late-night pick-ups from sports. Barbara is very reliable, trust-worthy, and organized. She is always on time. She is also very caring and nurturing and takes a genuine interest in our family. I highly recommend Barbara.
