About Abby
Experience: 10 yrs
Hello and Welcome! I have worked with children from birth through adolescence for over 10 years in various capacities including nanny, babysitter, youth worker, mentor, camp counselor, and reading coach. I have a particular soft spot for infants and toddlers, but love caring for children at every stage! My time with children is filled with words. We read, talk, and sing through each day. I try to go out with kids everyday, to find some sunshine and see some buddies! I am very familiar with the Boston area and I love to take advantage of all it has to offer for children and families. Our days are full of books and songs, trips to the library and park, bubbles, dancing, sing-a-longs, and play at home. When not chasing toddlers or carrying infants on my hip I love to knit and bake, play my ukulele and guitar, read and bike, and garden!

Abby is absolutely wonderful, and we will miss her dearly. I have two kids, 4 and 7 and they LOVE her. She is always present, incredibly playful, and caring. Abby is also relatable, she loves to tell stories, and is thoughtful and informed when responding endless questions about the nuances of life including race and gender. She is also a calm guide for parents as we troubleshoot challenges with our kids. We have numerous kids on our street between the ages of 1-10 and and they all adore her, any family would be very lucky to work with Abby. Abby is also very punctual, always arriving a few minutes early.
