A little bit about me

Hi my name is Abrielle, I’m 18 years old and going to be a freshman at Olivet Nazarene University! I’ve been babysitting for over 5 years. I’m very patient, calm, creative, and approachable. I am comfortable caring for up to three children of all ages, including children with special needs. I prioritize safety and follow the parents' lead when enforcing household rules. I enjoy playing all sorts of games with children, from sports and physical games to board games and puzzles. To keep parents informed, I provide written daily reports or regular updates via text or phone call. Since I am going to be out of state for college, I do have breaks and can come up for weekends!
