Hello!! My name is Gabriela Navas and I am a 26 year old graduate with a bachelors in theater! I am 1 of 5 siblings and I am the second oldest. I’ve taken care of my younger siblings which include Cooking, cleaning, building pillow forts and theater stages, laundry, diaper changes and bed times! I babysat for a family for 3 years until they moved away and they still send me Christmas cards! I am CPR and lifeguard trained/certified so you can rest assured your little one is in the safest and most fun care with me!

We are using Gabby as an occasional daytime sitter for our infant as I transition back to work and my husband returns to work with an unpredictable schedule (in film). Gabby is very easy to talk to, great at communicating her schedule and any changes or conflicts with availability. When she had a moment hands free, she was straightening up doing dishes or putting together cloth diapers. She leaves our house in good or better condition than she found it and doesn't seem to get flustered by our fussy teething baby :)
