I love taking children that are in my care out on adventures and excursions. As I feel there is so much more for children to learn and develop while outdoors exploring their surroundings. Rather than spending large amounts of time indoors or on electronic devices. Though this all Depends on the current weather of the day and age of the child in my care of course, but Nanny Barbs always has a plan B ready to go for unexpected weather days. I always bring along fun, educational craft, activities, and games. All age appropriate for children in my care. Many older Children always ask “ Nanny Barbs do you have your Special bag today”. As they know it’s full of educational yet fun games and things to work together on.  Whilst caring for children, health and 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, love and respect them just as if their parents would as in the end I’m hired to be a reflection of you and lend a hand.  My hours are often flexible and are always molded differently to suit each family; as to me, each family is unique and operates in there own special ways. My babysitting hourly rate starts From $38/hr and My Nannying Hourly Rate starts from $40/hr (pending which of my services you choose from along with other aspects like How many children, public holidays, and more.) public Holiday rate start from $60/hr. Though the services I provide in all categories are worth every cent and more than the hourly rate you’ll pay. I have many years of experience with children of all ages from 4 days old to 13yrs at all times of the day, whether it be mornings, afternoons, evenings, overnights, or even that extra pair of hands as you travel around the world, whether it be for business or personal travel. (I have traveled to many different destinations around the world many times before with many families, so my passport is in date and ready to go.) Nanny Barbs isn’t only there to care for the children in her care. Yes, they are my utmost number one priority but in times when a child is within an independent safe activity (older children) or are sleeping. I don’t just sit around and wait. It’s just not me. You’ll notice on these days, you may have washing hung out or folded, dinner prepared or cooked, dishes attended to, can even help with small business family households with admin work, etc. Pretty much anything I see that needs to be done or you feel you need an extra pair of hands, I will attend to it, so long as your children are cared for first as they are the main priority of my job. There is no challenge too big or too small, I Nanny Barbs will give it her all to attend to it after ensuring your children are well looked after first.  Thank you in advance for taking the time in reading this, I hope it provides some answers to any questions you may have while you’re on the lookout for a reliable, Highly Qualified, trustworthy, honest nanny or babysitter.  I look forward to hopefully hearing from you soon.

Mary Poppins combined with Alice from the Brady Bunch is how I'd describe myself. Ive looked after children in a Montessori style recently, but am willing to follow your lead on your parenting style. I have had extensive experience with baby led weaning and enjoy the holistic approach . I have a love for children that has spanned my whole life; starting from when I was a teenager with the simple babysitting. As an adult I’m now still with the gratitude of being a professional nanny. Looking forward, children and education has been part of me for so long now it is a very natural progression professionally for me. I loved working in a childcare centre for 8 years. But I also love looking after families as a nanny as i think you can have a closer bond with the children and the family! My jobs have included newborns through to school age children, and all my nanny positions have been long term! I'm currently ad hoc nannying and have some spaces available for right family that needs me!
