More About Me
Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...
I have served families with:
-children of all ages (infant to teen)
-multiple children
-children with disabilities
-emerging bilingual children (español and ASL)
-Montessori students
-gifted children
-children with ADHD, autism, depression, and anxiety
Teaching experience:
-secondary mathematics educator
-secondary intro computer science educator
-secondary social emotional learning facilitator
-private tutor for elementary through high school aged students
-lead teacher for the “walkers” age group at a local preschool
-aftercare teacher for all age groups at the preschool
-there are teachable moments around us all the time, and I lean into those moments of learning with the children I care for. Playing outside can turn into a math game, a science experiment, a theatrical game fueled by imagination, and even a story we write on the spot!

The most important part about being a nanny...
I have always had a heart for children, and I am a natural caregiver and teacher at heart! One day, I will be a foster parent. For now, I support children and their families in the form of a nanny, math teacher, general tutor, and friend because that is what I feel called to do!
My experience with special needs children...
I have served a family with a child with Down Syndrome, and I have taught a diverse group of students with a range of physical and intellectual challenges including autism, ADHD, depression, trauma, and mobility limitations. I am highly skilled at meeting any child where they are at and catering to the needs of the families that I serve.
The most important part about being a nanny...
I have many favorite moments from my time as a nanny. It is hard to choose just one to share, so I will share a few blurbs:
-supporting my 3 year old kiddo in independently writing the names of her family members on a painting she made during our little art session. I learned when mom picked her up that this was the first time she wrote independently :)
-conversations with a sweet toddler about what various items are called in Spanish as we go throughout our day (bilingual baby!)
-the first time all of my kiddos told me they loved me 🥹
-becoming best friends with the mother of a child that I care for. I’m grateful to call them my family now❤️
-learning ASL alongside one of my kiddos
-I told one my 3 year old kiddo that I needed to check the time to see how much longer we had before I needed to take her back home. Her response to me is one I will never forget: “did the time say we can stay here forever?” Obviously, we just HAD to set another 10 minute timer to soak up some more fun :)

Full-Time Child Care Provider Available in Birmingham, AL: Alicia C.
Childcare is my God given talent. I find that my patience with them is unlimited. Never have I left a family where the children and I did not have a special bond. Most of my previous employers still ask me to functions that involve the children. I also do intermittent childcare or pet sitting for previous employers.

Hi! I'm Gabby Farnell and I am a freshman at Samford University as a double-major in Religion and Sociology. I have taken care of kids from ages 6 months-14 years. I have personal experience with children with Autism, as my cousin with low-functioning autism lived with me for almost five years. I also volunteered at the Exceptional Foundation, for adults with special needs, for over a year. I volunteered in the children's ministry at my home church for 6 years, and I absolutely adored it. I would love to love on your kiddos!
