More About Me
Activities I enjoy doing with children...
I love spontaneous dance parties with children! I love introducing children to a wide variety of music to broaden their tastes early on. Not to mention, it gets our bodies moving! I also enjoy long neighborhood walks and local park explorations. It's important for the youngest of kiddos to be opened up to the world around me under careful supervision.
The most important part about being a nanny...
The most important part about being a nanny is balancing kids' need to explore and their safety. I think of it as being bumper rails for a bowling lane. While children go through life rolling down the bowling lane, good caregivers allow them the room to swerve and dip while giving them the protection from falling into danger zones. This dynamic can lead to thrilling, educational, and positive experiences for the youth's development.
The most important part about being a nanny...
I'll never forget the day I gave a baby I nannied his first strawberry! He took the littlest nibble and scrunched his face in the cutest way. How sour it was to him! I thought he didn't want anymore but he ended up eating two more berries. Strawberries are sour but still sweet and delicious! I loved having the opportunity to give him a new sensory experience that also broadened his flavor palette.

Hi! My name is Abbeli, and I’m currently a sophomore at DePaul University studying Economics. I’m a responsible, caring, and patient person who genuinely enjoys spending time with children.
I have experience caring for my younger brother throughout middle school, as well as babysitting my cousins. I’ve also helped tutor them, taught them how to write, and spent time playing games and coming up with fun activities. I love creating a fun, comfortable environment where kids feel happy and cared for.
I’ve always gotten along well with children, and babies especially seem to love me! They often end up falling asleep on my lap, which I think is the sweetest thing. I’m patient, attentive, and enjoy building connections with the children I care for.
I’m currently looking for babysitting opportunities and would love to connect with families who need an extra helping hand. Feel free to message me with any questions!
