Experience: 11 yrs
Nurturing young minds is my greatest passion. My journey into childcare began with positive babysitting experiences, and I've since dedicated 11 years to fostering children's growth. With a graduate degree and coursework in Early Child Development, I provide enriching care for children aged 0-11. I am patient, creative, and approachable, always ready to engage in outdoor sports, board games, and educational activities. I am comfortable caring for up to two children and happy to help with cooking and light housekeeping. I am also certified in First Aid and CPR. I believe open communication with parents is essential, providing verbal updates at pickup and regular text or phone calls. Enforcing household rules is something I do with ease. I also speak Italian. I look forward to the opportunity to bring my experience and enthusiasm to your family!
Gilda cared for our son for over a year, starting before he was even two months old. She is the calmest, most caring presence anyone could ask for. I always felt so secure knowing she was with him. She’s creative, thoughtful, prompt, a great communicator, and any family would be so lucky to have her. I can’t recommend her highly enough.
