About Barbara

Experience: 10 yrs

I have raised three exceptionally bright, creative, generous and kind children who are happy, thriving and living around the world: Greece, Netherland, NYC. 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 Yale, a son with a BA from University Arizona, 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 came to babysit our daughter for an evening and she was wonderful with her. Very attentive and full of enthusiasm, she was able to grab L's attention in just a few minutes and make her a good playmate. We highly recommend her.
