Hi, I’m Gabriella! A Santa Barbara Local with over 6 years of professional nanny/sitting experience, I specialize in caring for children from infancy through early childhood. Currently pursuing a degree in psychology and social work at AUSB, my goal is to become a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist for adolescents. This academic background enriches my understanding of child development and informs my nurturing approach to childcare. I am CPR and First Aid certified through the Red Cross, fully vaccinated against COVID-19, and have reliable transportation, allowing me to assist with school pickups, drop-offs, meal preparation, and household errands. My experience also includes working with special needs students, emphasizing patience, adaptability, and inclusivity. My childcare philosophy centers on creating a safe, engaging, and emotionally supportive environment. I prioritize open communication with parents and strive to foster each child’s individuality and curiosity. With a background in ballet, I enjoy incorporating movement and creative activities Read more into daily routines to promote physical and cognitive development. Families describe me as dependable, compassionate, and attentive. I’m available for full-time or part-time positions in Santa Barbara and Goleta. References and testimonials are available upon request.
