Booked by 73 families in New Lenox, IL

Hello my name is Gabriela I am currently in college studying to be a literature teacher and psychology. My experience with children is volunteering at youth groups at my local church. I love babysitting because I have 7 nieces and a nephew and watching these children grow up and learn everyday I've realized how important children are for our future. Ive also learned how hard it is to find baby sitters and I want to be able to help people. I am a very humble 29 year old lady who likes to read books, listen to people and make people smile.
