Hi, I’m Gabriela. I didn’t always plan on running a nanny agency in the Rockies. I actually started medical school back home in Buenos Aires, but life has a way of shifting your path. I realized my passion wasn’t in a clinic, it was being outdoors with kids, going on adventures, watching them grow, and being someone families could truly rely on.
When I moved to the U.S. and started nannying in Aspen, what began as a job quickly became my life’s work. I spent years working closely with families, traveling with them, and becoming a steady presence in their kids’ lives. At a certain point, I realized I couldn’t be everywhere at once, and that’s how Snowmass Nannies began.
I don’t just place nannies, I personally vet every single one. I look for the same qualities I held myself to for years: intuition, reliability, and genuine care. The ability to know when a child needs a quiet moment or an outdoor adventure. The consistency that gives parents peace of mind. The kind of presence that makes a child feel seen and understood.
My background in medicine kept me curious about the “why” behind children’s behavior. Continuing my education in child behavior and mental health gave me the language for what I had already learned through experience: that behavior is a form of communication, and the best caregivers know how to listen.
When I’m not working with families, I’m usually writing. Through my blog, The Art of Care, and my column in the Aspen Times, I reflect on the small, meaningful moments that shape this work. It’s where experience and understanding come together.
Whether you’re visiting Aspen for a week or you live here year-round, my goal is simple: to give you peace of mind, knowing your kids are safe, happy, and truly cared for.
I’d love to connect and see how we can support your family.

Two ways down the trail
Beyond the beige: a nanny’s guide to peaceful mealtimes
As a nanny, I know firsthand that the kitchen table can sometimes feel like a battlefield of negotiations and hidden veggies. I poured my heart into this piece, sharing my absolute favorite ways to turn mealtime stress into a fun, peaceful bonding experience for both kids and caregivers.
Be and accomplice
Childcare is often described as supervision, structure, and safety. And while those things matter deeply, they are not the whole story. The moments that shape children most often happen inside laughter, play, and shared problem solving. This is a story about stepping into a child’s world, building trust through connection, and sometimes choosing to be an accomplice.
The chicken-wire canoe — a tribute to dreaming big
In an era where our instinct is to clear every obstacle for our kids, a hilarious childhood memory of a sinking chicken-wire canoe offers a beautiful lesson: sometimes our job isn't to make sure the boat floats, but to be the safe harbor when it inevitably goes under.
