I have two children of my own and love being around children. I enjoy all types of activites and I'm comfortable with whatever the day has in store. I've experienced all of life's stages including potty training (x2), learning to walk, swim, ride bikes, etc. I've seen my fair share and can handle any and all types of situations. At my house we like to go for walks, read, color and cook. Currently I work with an 18 month old and twin 13 month olds.

Abby is currently our part-time nanny and had been sitting our barely 1 year old daughter for months on weekday mornings, evenings & weekends before that. She's experienced and extremely reliable. My husband & I both have demanding jobs with long hours, so it's important to have someone we trust with our daughter. She asks about goals for the time she spends with our daughter, keeps her on a schedule, does fun activities and teaches her so much (like sign language!). Highly recommend her to families looking for someone honest, reliable and with good experience.

Abby has watched our 5 1/2 year old several times. She is a great communicator and responds very quickly. Our son can be a bit challenging, as he has ADHD and SPD. She is very caring and patient with him and understands his challenges, but also knows when to be firm and not let him get away with misbehavior :) I would recommend Abby to anyone looking for a responsible and caring sitter.

Abby watched my 6 (boy) and 8 (girl) year old kids while my husband and I went to a concert for date night. She was prepared, on time, and interested in the kids. She brought an age appropriate game for them to play, handled dinner, and bedtime routine. At the end of the night she gave my husband and I a great recap of the night. She was spot-on with the kids' personalities and didn't let them get away with any babysitter tricks. Rare to find a sitter that appreciates consistency and rules in caregiving, especially when she isn't the regular sitter!
