About Barbara

As a natural-born caregiver, my passion for childcare emerged through previous babysitting roles, driving me to pursue a dedicated career in this field. With six years of professional experience and a background as a former Au Pair, I've gained extensive expertise in caring for children aged one to five. My approach is rooted in patience, creativity, and friendliness, with a strong emphasis on maintaining open communication with parents. Tailored to each family's preferred communication methods, ensuring parents are always informed about their child's day. I believe in the power of play-based learning, so I incorporate educational games into my caregiving to foster children's development. I'm also committed to enforcing household rules, creating a safe and structured environment. With my skills and experience, I am confident in my ability to provide reliable, nurturing care. I hold a college degree, am fluent in English and Portuguese, and have reliable transportation.
