My name is Chelsea Barbara and I have over five years of paid experience working with children of all ages from infants to school-aged kids. I’m passionate about creating a safe, loving space where children feel free to grow, learn, and just be themselves.
In each role, I bring patience, care, and a genuine love for children. I’ve helped with everything from bottle feeding and diaper changes to school drop-offs, homework help, and fun activities like crafts, outdoor play, and reading time. I’m also happy to assist with light cleaning and meal prep when needed.
Families I’ve worked with often describe me as dependable, easy to talk to, and someone their children naturally connect with. I understand that every family is different, and I do my best to adjust and support in any way I can.
I’d truly love the opportunity to work with your family and offer care you can count on.
