What People Are Saying…
Michelle Barbera
Owner of Perfectly Poppins
I believe Mrs. Michelle Barbera is an asset for any teaching faculty and I offer this letter of support with great confidence. Thank you.
The service at Perfectly Poppins is spot on! Michelle is quick to respond and super fast in finding a nanny that meets the needs of our family.
The Poppins Nannie’s always reach out to me to introduce themselves in a professional manner.They are fun to work with and each one has such a positive attitude while creating an enjoyable experience for kids. Really appreciate all they do!
I know that I can always recommend Perfectly Poppins to my guests with confidence because Michelle has personally verified each Nannie’s background and competence.
Michelle was incredible! We planned a last minute trip to Seabrook Island and she made sure we had a date night Nanny for the first time in over a year. We are headed back next month and the first person I contacted was Michelle to set up childcare again. One of our daughters is disabled and we were hesitant, but she was very well taken care of. We love Perfectly Poppins!!
