A little bit about me

~Summer-time Nanny~

Hi my name is Abby Cooney I have always had a passion for working with children. Before becoming a teacher, I worked as a babysitter and camp counselor while in high school and throughout college. I cared for newborn babies all the way up to a child in 8th grade. I followed my passion by majoring in Early Childhood Education at the University of Dayton. After graduation, I accepted a position as at Chicago Public Schools as a Preschool Teacher for the last seven years! In my free time I love to support my favorite Chicago sports teams, go on hikes with my dog Mochi and do yoga!

Looking to work Tuesday, Wednesdays, and Thursdays during the summer, starting the first week of July! Please reach out if you are interested :)

A little bit about me

I have over 10 years of child care experience. I'm more artistic than athletic so I'm always done for a good craft but also am a creative genius when it comes to making up games for kids outside (perks of being a camp counselor). I love music and have been playing piano since I was 5. I'm a master sandwich maker (my dad owns a deli) and love sweets but also understand the value of proper nutrition. I'm also certified in first aid and cpr. Overall I am super fun and love kids ( also love pets if you have pet care needs )
