I am Gabrielle Barraza. I am originally from Amarillo, TX but have recently relocated to Illinois. I am excited to offer outstanding care for newborns to teenagers. I have watched up to three children before, transferred children to and from school, prepared meals, provided light housekeeping, changed diapers, participated in crafts and playtime, etc. I have worked with children in education, social work, and customer service fields. I was also a tutor and substitute teacher. My passion is working with children and I truly feel it is my calling.
I can travel to surrounding suburbs/towns of Amarillo for work.
