A little bit about me

Hi! I am Abbie. I am BLS certified and have 3-4 years of nanny experience ages 0-10.

I have a wide range of interests, and those closest to me would likely call me an adventure seeker. I love to try new things, spend time outside, and (sometimes) get a little messy. In my free time, you can find me reading, watercoloring, going on walks, or hanging with my friends.

Your kids would be in the best hands with me. I love to help them with school, spend time outside, watch movies, and teach them sports. I am also happy to help if you have any cats or dogs in the house and am willing to clean/tidy throughout the day.

I am a strong communicator, on-time, and intentional person and will provide you with daily updates if desired. Thank you for considering me!

A little bit about me

Hello, I am a 31 year old woman that has been in the childcare field for over 15 years with 11 of those years as a nanny. Being able to contribute to the development of a child in life while also helping a family as a whole navigate through work and home life has definitely been an added highlight. I am been able to work with different families from all different backgrounds and in the process they have become extended family that I still talk to, to this day. I look forward to having the opportunity to help a family and provide a healthy, educational and fun environment for their child(ren).
