Specialised child minding for kids with extra needs

Barbara Kent is highly skilled and experienced in working with children with special needs or exposure to trauma.

Since 2005, Barbara Kent has been practicing as a social worker, and as a trauma counsellor and case manager she has gained considerable expertise in the specialist field of the impact of trauma.

With a degree in social work and a postgraduate qualification, Barbara is able to understand and manage children in an informed and gentle way.

She is experienced in dealing with challenging children whose behaviour may be aggressive, angry, withdrawn, or disruptive due to a variety of reasons. It is imperative that parents of a child with specialist care needs feel they can leave their child in safe and competent hands. This is why when it comes to highly skilled special needs babysitting services, Barbara offers specialist, bespoke childcare by administering in-home expert support and care.

With sensitive cultural training, she is experienced in working with Indigenous families and has worked in the community, understanding the importance of land, culture and family to First Nations people.

Barbara provides a free one-hour consultation to meet your child, discuss their needs and any existing behaviour management plans, and to ensure that a trusting relationship can be formed.

Serene Specialist Babysitting Service respects the privacy and confidentiality of your family and children.

Barbara provides care to children in Geelong and the Surf Coast, as well as Werribee, Hoppers Crossing, Point Cook and Colac areas.

Rest assured your children are in safe hands – Barbara is fully vaccinated against Covid-19, has a current Working with Children’s Check, St John’s First Aid Certificate, and Australia-Wide Police Check.
