A little bit about me

Hi there! I'm Abbey, a warm and energetic caregiver with a passion for helping kids thrive. As a mom to a 12-year-old myself, I understand the joys and challenges of family life. My experience as an aide with the Torrance Unified School District has given me a strong background working with diverse needs, and I have extensive experience with twins and children with a variety of disabilities. I'm great with both kids and animals, and I love bringing creativity and fun to every day. I'm also happy to help with tutoring, and as a skate coach through the City of LA, get ready for some adventure!

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

hanks to my family's years of fostering, I have a deep understanding of children, especially those who've experienced trauma. My child development classes and three years as a Special Education Aide at Torrance USD also provided invaluable hands-on experience. I'm a mom to a 12-year-old, and for over four years, I've loved being a skate coach, connecting with kids in an active setting.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love making every day an adventure for little ones! We'll enjoy plenty of outdoor play—think park visits, exploring nature, and active games. Inside, I bring a spark for creativity with fun crafts and love playing all sorts of games that spark joy and learning.

The most important part about being a nanny...

For me, the most important part of being a nanny is truly nurturing a genuine, trusting connection with each child. It's about creating a safe and loving space where they feel completely seen and heard. I love being a supportive partner in their journey of growth and discovery, empowering them to explore, learn, and blossom. And because I believe in a truly harmonious home, I'm dedicated to supporting parents and the family as a whole, working together to create a warm and thriving environment for everyone.

My experience with special needs children...

up in a family with several autistic children. This background has given me a natural affinity for challenging children and a profound understanding of their unique worlds. Professionally, I am trained in ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) and have hands-on experience helping to carry out both IEP (Individualized Education Program) and BIP (Behavior Intervention Plan) programs. My goal is always to ensure every child feels safe and loved, creating a nurturing and supportive environment where they can thrive.
