About Gabriela

Experience: 10 yrs

Hi! I'm Gabriela. I have 10 years of childcare experience, a bachelor's degree in psychology, and experience teaching grades 1-5 at a Waldorf-inspired school. I'm CPR certified, bilingual, and yoga certified. I genuinely enjoy children, and I think they can sense that. I meet them with an appreciative, nonjudgmental eye and love drawing out what makes each child special, so they feel seen, accepted, and confident in who they are. I love getting into the spirit of play and make-believe, and sharing their enthusiasm for the things that interest them. I love babies, animals, nature, and art, and spend much of my free time outdoors, doing yoga, hiking around Point Reyes, or dancing. I'd love to support your family and bring a warm, grounded presence into your home.

We are so lucky to have found Gabriela! Our 5 year old son was always so excited on days she came to help us - her energy is so fun and engaging and also calm - a real gem of a combination! She assisted with after school pickups, fun trips to the park, library, ride bikes; always something fun. I appreciate how flexible she is in terms of being down for anything, always ready to work and play. She will now always be our first call when we need help!
