A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Gabby, and I’m an 18-year-old university student studying to become an English teacher. I genuinely enjoy working with children and creating a safe, positive, and fun environment for them.

I previously worked as a swim instructor, teaching babies, toddlers, and preteens how to swim and build confidence in the water. I also used to be a lifeguard, which helped me develop strong safety awareness, patience, and attentiveness. I’m comfortable caring for children of different ages and adjusting to their individual needs.

I have my own car and a valid driver’s license, and I’m reliable, responsible, and dependable. I would love the opportunity to support your family and care for your children with kindness and enthusiasm.
