Hi! I’m Gabby 😊 I’m originally from South Africa and grew up in NZ. I love art, I play a few instruments, I love cooking, and enjoy the gym/being outdoors.
I’m very comfortable with children who may need a little more patience, understanding or individual support.. I come from a big family and have plenty of experience caring for younger siblings, including children with autism/ADHD and other developmental and speech/language needs. I also have therapeutic-care training with children and a background in healthcare and disability care. More recently, I’ve worked privately as a chef/household helper for a family with a newborn, helping with baby care and general household tasks.
My availability is currently very flexible, especially for one-off evenings/nights, weekends and short-notice care. I’m looking for full-time work, so this may change 😊
