About Barbara

Hello! Energetic and with-it granny and long-time nanny here. Just looking for babysitting jobs these days. I stayed with my last family as a nanny for 20 years (helping raise 4 brothers - smart and energetic boys), and before that I worked in preschools and daycares, in addition to raising my own two kids and now loving my 5-year-old grandchild. I have always loved kids and still have relationships with the now-grown kids (and the parents) for whom I was a nanny. Most of my experience is in the US and Toronto, Canada -where I lived for 30 years-, though I grew up in Europe. The families I've cared for always had sweet pups and cats, too, which was great. As for extra help: I enjoy cooking and excel at crafts, artwork, homework, and looking after pets (but cannot walk large breeds. I prefer to leave discipline to parents and only help keep kids very safe and out of harm's way. Feel free to ask me any questions!
