About Barbara

Experience: 4 yrs

Nurturing young minds is my passion, and I've dedicated the majority of my life to providing enriching childcare experiences. My background in Psychology, Early Childhood Education (ECE) and Early Child Development coursework, coupled with current coursework as a Clinical Mental Health Counseling masters student, has equipped me with the tools to foster growth and development in children. I aim to make a positive impact on each child's life while offering families a dependable care option. I'm known for being patient, friendly, and fun! I enjoy engaging children in outdoor sports, board games, music, crafts and educational activities. I always follow the parents' lead when it comes to household rules and prefer to communicate verbally at pickup, but I'm happy to adapt to your preferred method. I'm comfortable caring for 3-4 children at a time and am willing to help with light housekeeping, swimming supervision, and homework! I have a big heart for kids and would love the opportunity!

We had a wonderful experience hiring Barbara to take care of our two kiddos (2 and 6 years old)! My husband and I had to attend an event last minute, and I’m so grateful that we came across her profile. When I called her to check on them, the kids were having a great time and by the time we’re back in the evening. They were all in bed. She is super accommodating and very professional and communicative. It really does take a lot for parents to leave their children alone and it was the first time we were hiring through this website because now we’re far from family, but she really was amazing, reliable. I also want to add that because we hired last minute we were worried about someone getting to our house on time but she was on time so overall definitely recommend. Thanks so much, Barbara!
