Hi! I’m Gabriella Riccio — 26 years old, a certified Teacher Assistant, and a psychology graduate with a minor in Sociology. I currently work as a Teacher Assistant at an elementary school, where I support students academically and emotionally throughout the day. My background includes over 9 years of experience working with children ages 6 months to 13 years in daycare centers, schools, afterschool programs, summer camps, private tutoring, and babysitting for date nights, overnights, weddings, and even travel nannying. I’m passionate about helping kids learn, grow, and feel supported, whether through creative play, academic help, or just being a steady, caring presence. I’m CPR/First Aid certified, have experience with children with developmental differences, and love helping with homework, tutoring (especially English, history, and elementary math/science), and hands-on enrichment projects. I also bring along a big portfolio of crafts, activities, and learning games that make afterschool time fun and engaging! Read more I’m currently available for: • After-school care and weekend babysitting • School breaks and holidays (winter, spring, and random school closures) • Homework help and tutoring • Date nights, workdays, and overnights • Light housekeeping and meal prep • Pet care and walks I have my own vehicle, though it currently needs some repairs — it’s still reliable for getting me to and from work, but until it’s fully serviced, I’d be more comfortable using a family car for driving children. Outside of work, I love spending time with my family and dog, playing ukulele, writing poetry, and getting involved in theater and the arts. I truly value small group settings where I can form genuine bonds with kids and families. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and bring positivity, structure, and creativity to your child’s day!
