About Abigail

Experience: 10 yrs

Hi, I've been nannying, tutoring and helping parents on and off for 15 years, giving me 10+ years of experience. I have 3 children of my own, ages 1, 2 & 5. My kids are mild tempered and fun loving and LOVE making new friends. My oldest is in Kindergarten and my 2 youngest accompany me when I nanny. My oldest joins as well when out of school or during the summer. I love taking the kids on walks, reading books, baking and doing crafts. I can help with Light Housekeeping and laundry as needed. I'm experienced with helping kids get on a healthy sleeping routine as well as with potty-training. My ideal nanny position would be a family who is looking the social aspect of daycare, but wanting more personalized care in their own home. I'm great at working with the kiddos on sharing, how to communicate with each other and also other socialization skills. I grow close to my nanny families while maintaining a professional relationship, and I enjoy caring for all children.

Abigail was such a wonderful nanny for my growing family. She is the right combination of loving & structured. She helped teach the kids new skills such as cooking, baking, & swimming. She was great at crafting with them and playing pretend. She is a hard worker. I knew my kids were getting the love & care they needed when I was working, which allowed me to focus at my job. I always came home to to clean house, happy kids, & sometimes, even a yummy casserole in the oven. You would be fortunate to have such a wonderful caregiver such as Abigail to look after your little one(s).
