Barbara

New

$20/hrstarting from

I’ve worked with babies and preschoolers for 28 years as a pediatric physical therapist through the Missouri First Steps program, and worked 2 years as a P.T. with KCMO school district. I retired from physical therapy in 2024, and my husband and I enjoy periodic travel. I’ve been teaching the elementary class at church on Wednesday nights for 2-1/2 years, where we incorporate skits and costume fun. I began doing morning storytimes at preschools 2 years ago, and recently turned it into a non-profit corporation called, “Barbara’s Stories.” I love & enjoy all children, including my own 5 grandchildren! And, of course, I love to see children involved in physical activity, creativity… and books!
