Occupations

Au Pair

As previously explained, this was her job as a live-in nanny. She kept on nannying helping out my family until around 2017. After that she continued living with us and occasionally gave me and my siblings rides when we needed them, but she started getting different jobs. She moved out of our house and into Newton in 2018, but she continues to come over a least a couple times every week, and she comes to every holiday and family event.

Volunteering

Ever since Gaby lived in Panama, community service and volunteering were really important to her. Even during the first two years of being a full-time au pair, she made the time to volunteer at various places.

I personally love this first job for Gaby, even though it's not technically a job. She is a volunteer at a Boston based non-profit with a goal of educating locals and tourists on Boston's history and communities. She has always loved history, so it was so fitting for her to get a job as a tour guide. She is specifically a bilingual tour guide, so she can guide people speaking either Spanish or English. She started doing this during Covid-19 in 2020, and is still volunteering as a guide today.

Gaby also volunteered at the Newton-Wellesley Hospital. She helped around in various departments, and she did this from 2007 to 2010. Additionally she worked at Rosie's Place, a soup kitchen in the South End, and St. Francis House, a homeless shelter in downtown Boston.

Other

Gaby has been working as a nanny for a few different families ever since she stopped working as an au pair. This is currently her full-time occupation; she works for a different family in Needham. Before Covid, she also worked as a part-time Lyft driver for a few months.
