Hello, my name is Abigail Ortega. I am currently majoring in Psychology and minoring in Public Health here at UC Davis. I am aspiring to become a Health Psychologist. In terms of my babysitting experience, I grew up as the 4th eldest in a family of 11 children, so I grew up caring for my siblings. I spent a year and a half working for Child Care Careers in which I worked in preschools, daycares, and after school care as a substitute teacher. That being so, I am experienced in all age groups as well as caring for multiple children at a time. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to meeting you all!

As a mother of three, l've spent a lifetime raising children with love, patience, and consistency. Two of my daughters are now in college, and my youngest is in elementary school, so I understand firsthand the unique needs of kids at every stage. Families often describe me as dependable, calm under pressure, and highly communicative. My background as a real estate agent and sales professional has strengthened my organizational skills and ability to multitask, while also reinforcing the importance of clear, honest communication. Whether it's helping with homework, coordinating schedules, or simply providing a safe and positive environment, I'm committed to making your life easier and your children's days brighter. I'm also happy to assist with light cleaning, errands, carpooling, and keeping routines on track. Most importantly, I'll treat your children with the same care and attention I give my own.

I love being a babysitter and child care provider because it allows me to create a warm, loving, and supportive environment not only for my own child but also for the children I care for. Watching children grow, learn, and thrive brings me so much joy, and I take pride in nurturing their development through kindness, patience, and structured play. As a high school swim coach, I’ve learned the importance of mentorship and building confidence in young people, and I bring that same energy into my child care work. My background in child development from CSUB has also given me valuable insight into children’s emotional and cognitive needs, helping me create meaningful, positive experiences for every child in my care. I have experience caring for the children of family members and friends of family.
