A little bit about me

Working with kids has always been something I genuinely love — it’s what I’ve built my education and career around. I have over 10 years of childcare experience, starting from when I first began driving. I’ve worked in many roles including babysitting, teaching, coaching gymnastics, and supporting children with disabilities as a behavioral coach.

I have a degree in Human Development, completed multiple trainings in CPR/AED/First Aid, and I’m currently earning my Master’s in Clinical Psychology. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable. I prioritize maintaining children’s typical schedules and routines to provide consistency and comfort. I always aim to make kids feel safe, understood, and cared for while also having fun.

A little bit about me

Hi! I'm Abigail, & I offer childcare to families with children of any age.

I'm 19 & a college sophomore, majoring in nursing, & studying to work in Labor & Delivery. I have 4 younger siblings who have helped nurture my caregiving abilities & given me experience with basic skills like changing diapers, tutoring subjects, and helping with homework. I can keep children entertained by doing puzzles, crafts, board games, reading books aloud, & going on walks.

I’m also a confident swimmer, both First Aid & CPR certified with Red Cross for infants & adults, & have more then a year of paid childcare experience with children with special needs, plus many more unpaid. In volunteering at both my school & church nursery, & babysitting for family & friends, I’ve gained experience with kids of all ages & ethnicities.

It's my policy to meet the family before beginning to make sure we're a good match. I do this by offering a free 2 hour trial session so you can ensure I'm a good match as well.

A little bit about me

Hello! I am currently residing in Norwalk, but am moving to South Pasadena in August. My passion is working with children. I have an educational background in church ministry with an emphasis in child development. I also took a few classes in teaching. In my most recent job, I was a nanny for a three month old boy! The only reason I am leaving is because of our move. A little more about me : I was a manager at the YMCA for an after school program where I developed STEM-focused, integrative programming for 4-12 year olds. I also managed three employees and facilitated relationships between parents, school staff, and the YMCA executives. I also have a minor in Spanish and am an intermediate Spanish speaker. On site at the YMCA, I worked with only Spanish-speaking families. I have experience working with babies and infants all the way to teenagers. On a personal level, I have a passion for caring and developing children and am looking for the right family!
