Barbara worked with our son starting at 8 months and she was absolutely fantastic. We are so sad we are moving away and cannot take her with us. She is enthusiastic, patient, and very experienced/ able to implement our schedules in all things infant (feeding, baby-led weaning, safe sleep). As a first time mom, it is very difficult to find someone I trusted and Barbara blew my expectations away. Would highly recommend her.
