About Barbara
Experience: 25 yrs
Hi Families! My name is Barbara . I am a nurturing, dependable, and experienced childcare professional with over 15 years of experience as a nanny and early childhood educator. I am also a Certified Newborn Care Specialist with experience caring for newborns, infants, premature babies, and supporting families transitioning home from the NICU. My experience includes feeding support, sleep shaping, healthy routines, developmental milestones, and age-appropriate learning through play. I am calm, organized, proactive, and take pride in building trusting relationships with children and parents. I maintain current CPR and First Aid certification, participate in continuing education, have reliable transportation, and can provide excellent references. I am currently seeking a full-time nanny or Newborn Care Specialist position with a family who values consistent, quality care. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, cruising, swimming, home projects, and live music.
Most recent review
Barbara took care of our newborn twin boys, starting from the day we arrived home from the hospital. From day one, Barbara went above and beyond to provide expert and nurturing care to our family, especially the boys. She was so gentle and calm, and never got overwhelmed or frustrated when the boys were fussing. She was excellent in every way—we really could not have survived the twin “newborn trenches” without her!
