Hello, My name is Abbie. I'm a single 25 year old college senior with approximately 7 years experience as a caregiver. I have worked primarily in adult foster care settings but have extensive knowledge regarding child development and psychology.

In addition to this work, I am also an auntie to one neice and one nephew, both 4 years old. They are the light of my life! I am currently a student at Portland State. Most of my classes are online which gives me more free time to work. My primary major is in Psychology although I am pursuing and secondary major as well as a minor. I enjoy reading, learning, traveling, gardening, cooking healthy meals, animals, collecting things, and DIY projects. I Read more am certified in adult and child CPR as well as AED.
