"Abigail walked into my household on day 1 with such a calming and nurturing presence. She made my kids feel safe and encouraged learning while maintaining a playful behavior. My oldest daughter saw Abigail as a big sister figure and if it weren’t for my kids growing up so fast, we’d still have her around everyday. Can’t recommend a better nanny!"

A little bit about me

I have more experience, and I also have two of my own. I use a gentle method when dealing with children. I also like letting kids explore their world to a safe extent . I was a stay at home mom for the first year of my sons life and I enjoyed being able to bond with my kids on a new level . I started a small babysitting business in Indiana in 2019 and it thrived. My clientele was mainly friends but my towns small so everyone knows everyone and word to mouth helped me make a small business . Once I moved to oregon as i expected it’d drop due to me knowing nobody but i’m hoping to get back to my roots and bring the business back. I work with kids of all ages . I’m learning to be the best mom I can be so once I’m 30 it’s a natural everyday thing in my life . I believe this field helps me do so because I get to involve my kids in the environment and incorporate different parenting ideas from other parents and from things i learned on my own along my way!
