About Barbara
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I have raised three exceptionally bright, creative, generous and kind children who are now happy, thriving and living around the world: Spain, Holland, and Seattle. I have an innate desire to nurture and care for other young people. I guess some of us never lose that sense of joy and pure delight at seeing children grow and blossom, provided the right environment. I have volunteered extensively at my children's schools and have loved all aspects of child-rearing. May I sight my own successful examples of raising a daughter with an MFA from University, a son with a BA from University, and a son who is an entrepreneur . Childhood development continues to be of profound interest to me and I would surely embrace the joys and challenges through trips to the library, museums, theater, music, sports events. Let's make learning fun! I am experienced in Eldercare also. For 5 years, I've cared for a 97-year-old woman with dementia/Alzheimer's, and a 92-year-old gentleman with a broken hip.

Barbara has taken care of my son every other Friday for about nine months. My work schedule changed and I no longer need the extra help, but any family would be so lucky to have her. She always did so many fun activities with my son like reading, creative play, nature walks in the yard, and playing with musical instruments. My son really enjoyed her company, and she was always so kind, caring, and patient with him. I highly recommend her to any family looking for a great nanny/sitter.
