Meet Abena

  • Comfortable with pets
  • Has a car

I am 25 and a graduate of Penn State University and FIDM Los Angeles. I have been a sitter and mother's helper over the last 7-10 years. I have sat for newborn-12 Years old and love kids. I am most comfortable with newborn-toddler age. I have no pets or children of my own but hope to have both one day. I prefer not to give children sweets and promote their healthy eating and love to embrace creativity and imagination. I am not afraid to get down on their level but can be very stern and disciplinarian.
