Hello! My name is Gabby and I am a 26 years old. I graduated from Barnard College in Manhattan, NY in 2013 and have a degree in Psychology. Following graduation, I worked as a Clinical Researcher from 2013-2015, helping to develop new treatments for psychiatric illnesses, and recently completed a post-baccalaureate program at Jefferson University in Philadelphia, with the goal of going to medical school to become a neonatologist or pediatrician. I recently moved to Chicago and am excited to begin life in a new city! My experience with babysitting began over a decade ago. Throughout high school and college I babysat for many families, with children ranging in ages from newborn to 12-years-old. In my freshman year of college, I worked as a Teacher's Assistant at the Tompkins Hall Childcare Center in Manhattan, NY. In this role, I helped supervise and care for 10-15 babies, toddlers, and preschools during Read more their daily activities. I assisted with feedings, diaper changes, nap time, and various games and activities, with the ultimate goal of creating a structured environment that was both loving and nurturing. I worked at the Tompkins Hall Childcare Center for two and a half years and found the experience incredibly rewarding. I particularly enjoyed watching the newborn babies (only a few months old when they began at the daycare center) grow into independent and vivacious toddlers with personalities of their own. In addition to my babysitting and daycare experiences, I have also worked as a summer camp counselor where I cared for thirteen 8-10 year-old girls for an entire summer. As a counselor, I lived with the campers and escorted them to their daily meals and activities. I acted not only as a supervisor and authority figure for the girls, but also as their friend and confidant, especially when they felt homesick or were in a conflict with another camper. I have gained a tremendous amount of childcare experience through babysitting, camp counseling, and working in a daycare, but the greatest lessons I have learned come from helping to care for my own younger two siblings, who are now 12 and 8-years-old. I have done everything for them from changing diapers and singing lullabies to teaching them how to swim and tie their shoes. They have shown me both the rewards and challenges of caring for young children and have made me the loving, fun, and responsible babysitter I am today! *I am happy to provide references and a background check

Gabby was great! Both my boys immediately warmed up to her and were fully engaged right when she walked in the door. We would love to have her over again!

She was great with my two-year old son. She was very friendly and engaging. She even took him on a walk through the snow, which he loved.
