About Barbara

35 years old Speaks English Arabic
Hi My name is Barbara; although to many families, I’m know as ‘Nanny Barbs.’ I am an Australian Diploma Qualified Nanny & Babysitter. I’ve worked many years in the child minding industry as well as running my own independent Babysitting and Nannying business. I have over 25 years experience with children of all ages; from newborn (4 days old) to 13 yrs of age. I started from a young age as I knew what I wanted. I have supported many families of various make ups, this includes twins (multiples) & Premature Babies. I hold a Heavy Vehicle (LR) license (as I was a bus driver) with a great driving record. I have my own reliable 7 seater car, with 4 car seats 2x Rear / Forward facing 0-4yrs and 2x Forward 6m -8+yrs. That are installed as A child’s safety is always my number one priority whether at home or out on Adventures. I live in Varsity Lakes and I service up to a 25km Radius. Whilst caring for children, health & safety is my number one priority, no matter where we go or what we do. One of the sayings I go by is “Your kids are my kids when in my care“. This means, I will care for them, educate them, spoil them and respect them just as if they were my own. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

If I could give Nanny Barb an extra star on this 5 star rating scale, I would. She is that great. Such that I wish I could raise the children with her long-term involvement. Sadly, we are moving town and farewell is in line. Nanny Barb has found her vocation in childcare, and she is special in that she cares for babies and children as per their own unique developmental abilities while she actively encourages their next expected developmental skills. She does this through relaxing play. My kids have not laughed and giggled as much with anyone else. They brighten up when Nanny Barb walks in, they look for her when she's out of sight, and they ask if she'll be home when they get home. Nanny Barb is a baby whisperer. She is magic. Hire her!
