Hi, I'm *Gabriela*

I would like to welcome you and tell you a little about myself and my business. I hold a degree in Communications from "Universidad Mexicana" in Mexico City.

I have a lot of experience working with children of different ages; starting with babysitting cousins, nephews, nieces, and later on raising 2 children of my own. I'm licensed by the Community Care Licensing Division of the Department of Social Services. I currently hold an Infant and Child CPR, and First Aid Certifications.

For the past six years I have been constantly participating in a neighborhood resource center called "Portola Family Connections", which constantly offers workshops focusing in child development and parenting. I had the opportunity to work there.  During this time, I worked with three years old children who were getting ready for Pre-K; it was a great learning experience. Both of my children assisted a daily program designed for children under the age of 5; I was present every day providing help and support for them and other children. Also, I gave knittign lessons to the parents of these children. I have attended several workshops about nurturing parents and caregivers. I am  a current memeber of the Parent Advisory Board at Portola Family Connections.

As a child care provider, I feel very confident and prepared to understand your child's needs.

My goal is to provide your child with a clean, safe, comfortable environment where they can play and learn with guidance and loving care while you are at work or attending school.
