About Gabriela

Experience: 20 yrs

As a childcare provider with 20 years of experience, I'm passionate about nurturing children's growth and development. My journey began with babysitting, which fueled my desire to make a positive impact on young lives. I thrive in creating a safe, nurturing environment where children can flourish. My patient, creative, and friendly nature allows me to connect easily with children and build trusting relationships. I maintain open communication with parents through daily written reports and regular updates via their preferred method. My commitment to enforcing household rules ensures a structured and harmonious environment for the children in my care. My diverse range of games includes outdoor sports, board games, and educational games that enhance learning. I'm comfortable caring for one child at a time and am thrilled to assist with carpooling, light housekeeping, travel, and swimming supervision.

Monica ("Gaby") worked for us for more than 8 years. When she started, we had 3 children aged 13 mo., 3, and 5. A year later we had another baby. Gaby was absolutely wonderful with our kids, and became a part of the family. She stopped working for us about 3 years ago when I left my job (and the kids were all in school full time), but we still see her regularly and our kids are very attached to her. She is loving, very patient, really enjoys caring for and playing with kids, and stays on top of schedules, activities, and playdates. She speaks English well, but also delighted in teaching our kids to speak Spanish--and to this day they typically converse with her in Spanish! We feel very lucky to have had her caring for our children all those years, and cannot recommend her highly enough.
