Booked by 1 family in La Porte, TX

My name is Barbie, and I am a retired Texas certified elementary, Early Childhood (English and Spanish) and ESL elementary teacher (K-6) with 30 years of experience in public school teaching. Additionally, I have years of experience as a private nanny, tutor, home school teacher, and daycare teacher. After babies and children, I also love animals and have experience in raising and caring for many types of animals, pets and have done much pet sitting. I hold a BA and an MS in Psychology. My husband is also retired and loves children and animals. We have six children and have eight grand children and another on the way. Ideally, I would like to tutor, home school, and/or take care of a child, or children, in our home, but am willing to go to your home. My preferred days and hours are Monday through Friday, from 7am through 5pm. That said, I am fairly flexible. My hourly rate is dependant on the number of daily, or weekly hours. Thank you for your consideration.

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
