Hello, I am a 33 year old professional in the nonprofit sector. However, I have many years of experience working with kids. I have worked at YMCA afterschool programs, substitute teaching, as a professional, helped with remote learning, worked at summer camps as a counselor, and have facilitated college preparation workshops for children in grades 7-12. I have a Masters in Public Administration and a bachelors in Public Communication. In my free time, I enjoy exploring the city, being outside, running and hiking and trying new food! I work full-time during the week, so I am looking for some evenings and weekends.

Booked by 4 families in Mc Lean, VA

Hello! I'm Gabriela! I've taken care of babies, kids and teenagers for more many years, all between the ages of 2 months old to 14 y/o. I have a degree in English Teaching; and back home (Mexico) I was a Spanish and English teacher in a primary school, high school and university for a few years. I consider myself a reliable, responsible, spontaneous, and emphatic person. I'd love to have the opportunity to talk with you to get to know each other better, and see if I have the chance to take care of your beautiful kid(s)! I'm fully vaccinated and always looking for the best way to stay healthy by following the covid prevention recommendations.

Gabriela was wonderful. My wife was in town for a conference and brought our 12 year old daughter. The two days she was doing conference things, she hired Gabriela to take our daughter to see the sites in DC, and I guess the best review is that one day after my daughter returned home and I was saying goodnight she whispered to me "I already miss Gaby". They saw cool things that we didn't know about, had fun, rambled. Gabriella is a true good spirit, you can't go wrong.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
