I have experience working with children of all ages. Over the course of my career I have worked as a private nanny, a babysitter, an autism caregiver, a shadow teacher and a languages teacher. Your child/children will always have stimulating and fun activities. I love children and enjoy working with them and caring for them; and take my responsibilities very seriously. I am fully bilingual (English and Spanish) and I speak some French. I love doing arts and crafts, swimming, outdoors activities, hiking and helping with your children homework too. I enjoy cooking, and I am familiarized with different diets. I can also provide assistance with laundry, driving your children, run errands, light cleaning and outdoors activities. I have a lot of experience with potty training and some experience with early stimulation. I am very capable of planning, develop and organize activities to meet the needs of children diagnosed with Read more autism spectrum disorders (ASD) as well. I have a Bachelors of science in languages and a specialization in educational intervention and autism treatment. If you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to hearing from you! Barbra Benveniste

Barbra, our extraordinary nanny for the last 1 year, took excellent care of my baby/toddler and occasionally my 4 years old (when school is off). Both of my kids adored her and enjoyed every minute of being with her. Now, my little one is starting school as well and it is sad for all of us to leave her as she has been a part of our family. I highly recommend Barbra as a caregiver and as a teacher. I really want her to find a family which will be a good fit for both parties. Barbra is a very experienced caregiver (15+ years) in different age groups. She worked as a teacher in the past and she has experience with special needs kids as well. She can give you more details on her background/education. She is very energetic, she keeps a very good track of feeding/sleeping/playtime/milestones etc. She always engages with them through play/activities/reading etc. She takes them to playgrounds, libraries, other activities that I request (like gymnastics, music class, etc). She is punctual, she speaks a lot with my little one, who now understands and starts speaking both Spanish and English, which is solely thanks to Barbra, cause we speak to our kids in our own language, Turkish. She is trustworthy, responsible, always easy to communicate with. I can write pages of good words about her, but in short, she is way beyond any caregiver that I have met so far for the last 4+ years as a full time working mom (and I think I have had a good amount of samples). My family is and will always be grateful to her for many reasons. If you are a parent looking for a caregiver, do not hesitate to contact her. I am sure you will be amazed by her experience, her personality, and how serious she takes her job.
