About Gabriella

I have always have a passion for caring for children and began babysitting at a young age myself. The first two families that I cared for each had three children all under 8 years old. I was with one of the families long term and spent several hours with them weekly, from infancy until school age. (I even got to attend the birth of the third child!) This really solidified my sense of compassion and dedication to children. I currently am pursing a degree in Human Services and have a passion for grief support work with kiddos. In the last few years I have spent a lot of time training and volunteering with Providence Hospice grief support groups for children as well as being a "Big Buddy" at Camp Erin. I have done extensive training on reflective listening for these roles and am also actively studying human/child development in my academic career. I am looking to find a family I mesh well with to establish a long term care situation.
