About Abena

Hi families! I'm a nursing student at NYU (graduating this December!) who absolutely loves working with kids. I'll be starting my pediatric clinical rotation soon and couldn't be more excited! I've always had a natural connection with children, from working as a camp counselor to helping in a pediatric clinic. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, super reliable, and full of energy! I'd describe myself as radiant, trustworthy, and lighthearted. I like working with kids because I believe pouring into them while they're young helps shape who they become. I'm looking for a flexible job, and a family that values kindness and communication. I started working with kids at age 7, helping my grandma babysit, and learned early on the importance of patience and genuine care. In my free time, I love reading, journaling, and listening to music. Families should know I'm dependable, positive, and bring emotional awareness, creativity, and calmness to every moment!
