About Barbara

Reviewed on 5/22/2025

Where to begin? I could not recommend Barbie more as a caregiver. We initially met Barbie through Care.com, where she provided backup care for our two daughters (now, ages 6 and 3). Our kids love her. Barbie would always bring age-appropriate activities (e.g., costumes, arts and crafts, etc.), and we had such a good experience with her that we engaged her to serve as a full-time nanny when we had our third child. Barbie has been a full-time nanny for our from October 2024, when he was 8 months old, through June 2025. She has consistently gone above and beyond, not only dealing with the typical job responsibilities you would expect (e.g., meal/bottle prep, feeding, changing, soothing, napping, etc.), but with her prior background in childhood development, she has spent 1:1 time working with our son on his gross motor, fine motor, language, cognitive, and social-emotional/behavioral development. From working on walking, basic singing to express his needs, flash cards, sight recognition, and early language development, our son has made great strides with Barbie. She brings extensive background in childcare and is responsive, communicative, and responsible. Because of all these things, she has earned our trust. As a result, we felt more than comfortable having Barbie take our son on field trips in her own vehicle to several parks, the zoo, museums, etc. During these trips, Barbie focuses not only on education exposure, but also social development and interaction. Our son loves to play and engage with other children on these excursions. We're confident he'll have a smooth transition to preschool in no small part because of Barbie. Barbie has gone above and beyond, serving as a support pillar for our family. She traveled with us out-of-state to provide childcare when we had a family member pass. And she even came with us on a family vacation to Mexico to help care for our children. We had a wonderful time with her on the trip, and we're lucky to have been able to share those memories with her. I could go on, but suffice to say Barbie has been an integral part of our family, she has provided excellent care for all three of our children, and I could not recommend her more.
