Leudy $15 per hour for 1 child
I am a responsible, patient, and dedicated person. I hold a Direct Care Basics - Personal Home Care Aide certification from Coastal Carolina Community College in North Carolina. My training has provided me with knowledge in safety, basic first aid, emotional support, and personalized care. Additionally, I worked for a year and a half in a residential group, where I gained experience managing daily routines, supporting educational and recreational activities, and developing social skills. This experience has taught me to be organized, empathetic, and calm in different situations.

Hi! I’m gabi and I study architecture at the University of Houston! (Go coogs!!). I have been working at child care since I turned 18 as a way to pay for school. I love having an impact in young children and to teach them to be creative and have fun! I have worked in all classrooms from infants to school age and I have enjoyed getting to know so many families through out the years.
“Gabi was great, my son loved her, she communicated well and showed up on time, very reliable. My kids loved her. ”
