Hi! My name is Gabrielle, I love being able to help families and kids grow as individuals. No matter their age, I believe any child can learn something new.

Hi! I’m a lifelong caregiver and someone who truly loves being around children. As the oldest of five siblings, I started babysitting multiple children at just 12 years old, and I’ve never really stopped caring for kids since. At 16, I even organized and ran neighborhood art camps in my backyard because I loved creating fun, enriching experiences for children. My husband and I have raised and homeschooled our nine children, giving me decades of hands-on experience through every stage of childhood. Professionally, I’ve also worked as a birth and postpartum doula, where I developed a deep passion for supporting families during the important early years. My caregiving style is rooted in attachment parenting. I believe children thrive when they feel safe, connected, and understood. While I genuinely enjoy every stage of childhood, I have a special place in my heart for babies and young children. The first four years of life are such an important time for emotional, social, and physical development, and I feel honored to help provide the nurturing, responsive care that allows children to flourish. I’m also a very fun, energetic caregiver! I love getting down on the floor to play, creating art projects, reading stories with silly voices, exploring nature, building forts, dancing in the kitchen, and encouraging imagination. I believe childhood should be filled with wonder, laughter, creativity, and lots of love. Families often describe me as warm, patient, dependable, creative, and easy to communicate with. My goal is to create a calm, joyful environment where children feel safe, confident, and excited to learn and explore each day.
