Meet Gabriela

Hello there! My name is Gaby. I’m a recent graduate and made the exciting decision to move back to Santa Barbara after spending an amazing 13 years in the beautiful city of Denver, Colorado. My adventures in childcare began in a classroom setting, where I had the privilege of being a co-lead teacher in an early childhood classroom catering to little ones aged 2.5 to 4 years old. During those three years, I had the pleasure of watching these young minds grow and flourish. I later spent six years at this facility, where I took on the role of after-school and summer camp coordinator. It was during this time that I forged deep and meaningful connections with both the families and the children I had the joy of working with. These connections eventually opened doors to various nannying opportunities, and I had the pleasure of witnessing many of these children Read more blossom into amazing individuals over the years. In addition to my classroom and childcare experience, I've also worked closely with kids as a professional face painter. This always added an extra element of fun when I babysat. I absolutely thrive on creativity and cherish the opportunity to foster learning through play and creative activities. With a background in Industrial Design, I'm passionate about working with my hands and encouraging kids to do the same. Having worked at an underfunded community center, I've learned to be resourceful with materials and can easily come up with exciting projects on the spot. Beyond my love for creativity, I'm also an avid traveler and nature enthusiast. Safety and clear communication are my utmost priorities when it comes to caring for your child. I understand the significance of stepping into a nanny position, not just as a caregiver but as a primary source of support. Consistency and compassion are key elements in how I approach childcare, ensuring that your child feels secure and cherished under my care. You can trust that not only will your child be well-cared for, but they will also have an absolute blast with me. I have excellent references and I would be happy to provide those. I believe in full transparency and communication. I am currently looking for a full-time job so my availability is open at the moment. However, this may change in the upcoming weeks. I really am looking for temporary work to fill in the gaps at the moment. If this works for you, I would love to chat and see if we would be a good fit. Thanks for your time! Gaby
