About Gabrielle

I'd describe my personality as empathetic, dependable and kind. I like working with kids because although they can be more irrational and fussy than adults at times, their honesty & kindness brings me so much joy. I'm looking for a job where I can help families ease some of their stress by providing quality and compassionate care to their loved ones. I started working with kids when I was 16. First by sitting for my parent's friends, and then later babysitting part time during college. Over the years I've also looked after my cousin's children, and since moving overseas I really miss doing that! In my spare time, I like to cook, bake and spend time outdoors! I also enjoy arts & crafts like painting/ drawing and playing with clay. My skills include listening carefully and paying attention to kids body language and cues, coming up with fun & inexpensive activities and allowing kids in my care to feel safe and comfortable.
