Experience: 10 yrs
I have extensive experience caring for children as I am a mother of three grown daughters all of whom, thankfully, have graduated from college. I was fortunate to be a stay-at-home mother while my husband had a rigorous profession as a neurosurgeon and wasn't home very much so I basically raised my three daughters myself. Thus, I feel confident in my abilities to give excellent care to all ages of children, pre-teens, and teenagers. I love motivating and teaching all these ages and I do this by giving them a lot of love, nurturing, and encouragement. I have an ESL teaching certificate and I'm also fluent in English, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese. Also, I have extensive teaching experience as I was a volunteer Spanish teacher, teaching for several years when my two oldest daughters attended School in Rancho Palos Verdes, CA. for first to fourth grade. I was also a nursery school teacher for ages two to five, and I would bring my youngest daughter to school with me.
As a parent of a 4-year-old and a 9-month-old, finding someone I trust to care for both of my children is no small task. From the very beginning, Barbara Jean put my mind completely at ease. She is one of the most kind, caring, patient, and capable caregivers we have ever had. She has a wonderful ability to connect with children of different ages and developmental stages, making each child feel seen, valued, and cared for. My 4-year-old absolutely adores her and looks forward to spending time with her, while she is equally attentive and nurturing with my baby. What impresses me most is her combination of warmth and competence. She is incredibly responsible, dependable, and trustworthy, and she handles every situation with confidence and good judgment. Whether she is engaging my older child in creative play, caring for my infant’s needs, or managing both children at once, she does so with ease, patience, and genuine affection. As a parent, there are very few people I feel completely comfortable leaving my children with, and she is one of them. I never have to worry when she is caring for my kids because I know they are safe, happy, and receiving exceptional care. She has become someone our family truly values, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Any family would be lucky to have her caring for their children.
