Meet Abby

Hi! My name is Abby, and I am 26 years old with a BA in Psychology and a Master's in mental health counseling. As part of my coursework, I studied both childhood development and understanding childhood disorders. I have a valid CPR/first aid certification. I have over 14 years of experience babysitting kids ranging from infant years to 15 years old, and I adore children of all ages! I pride myself on being extremely reliable, timely, and organized. I enjoy playing both board and video games, going to parks and zoos, doing puzzles, cooking, reading, going to the gym, doing yoga, meditating, swimming, watching movies, going to amusement parks, as well as many, many other things! Additionally, I worked at a year round camp for mentally and physically handicapped children for three years. I live in Astoria close to the N/R/W, and I do not mind traveling whatsoever, and I Read more have a completely clean criminal history. I am an excellent cook, so meal preparation would not be a problem if necessary. Overnights are also something I am open to, but I am seeking a live out position. I look forward to hearing from you to learn about your family's needs! (Resume & references available upon request).

Abby is very responsible and reliable babysitter. My boys like her very much and tell me that Abby is a good girl which is the highest compliment they (ages 3 1/2 and 5) can give to a person at this time. All routines (i.e. dinner and bed) for the kids were followed exactly as directed. We and the children couldn't be happier.
