Meet Abigail
- Comfortable with pets
- Has a car
As a former full time nanny, I have experience watching all age ranges and enjoy enthusiastically interacting with children and their individual interests. I love to build a relationship with the families I work for, and find a consistent relationship allows children and parents to feel more confident leaving their children in my care. I recently have graduated with a Masters in Art History and love when I'm able to bring art into my work, either through craft projects or trips to the museum. I have watched both large groups of children as well as one on one, and am confident in my ability to mind all types. I am certified in CPR and first aid for babies as well as toddlers and older children and renew my certification every two tears. I love encouraging children to interact with the world around them and express themselves in creative ways.
