Hi! My name is Abrielle. I’m a film & tv actress, perpetual student and avid reader. I’m passionate about creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for both children and pets. With around 3-5 years of experience caring for kids of all ages — from energetic toddlers to precocious pre-teens — I pride myself on being patient, responsible, and attentive to each child’s unique personality and needs. As a nanny and babysitter, I love planning engaging activities, helping with homework, preparing healthy meals, and keeping routines running smoothly. Parents trust me to provide structure and warmth while ensuring their children feel supported and happy. I’m also an experienced pet sitter who understands that pets are part of the family. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or cuddle sessions, I make sure every furry (or feathered!) friend feels safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I’ve been previously certified in CPR/First Aid and take pride in being dependable, communicative, and respectful of your home and schedule. I look forward to meeting your family — two-legged and four-legged alike — and helping make your days a little easier and a lot brighter!

I love being a sitter because I enjoy helping families and creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for children. I like getting to know each child’s personality, interests, and routines. It’s rewarding to be someone kids can trust and feel comfortable with, and I enjoy making their time enjoyable while giving parents peace of mind. I’ve worked with young kids at my church, helping with activities, playtime, and supervision. I also babysat two boys, ages 5 and 8, for about a year. During that time, I helped with homework, prepared simple meals, kept them entertained, and made sure they stayed safe and happy. I’m patient, responsible, and good at communicating with both kids and parents. I can manage routines, help with schoolwork, and keep children engaged with activities. I’m comfortable handling bedtime routines, meal prep, and light household tasks. My experience has taught me how to stay calm, organized, and positive—skills that help me create a safe and enjoyable environment for every child I care for.

With over 10 years of experience caring for children of all ages, I bring a warm, organized, and creative approach to childcare, rooted in nature-based play, a love for storytelling and children’s literature, and a deep belief in each child’s unique abilities and passions. As a former nature-based preschool teacher, I focus on nurturing the “whole child”—social, emotional, and cognitive development—through outdoor exploration, reading together, and hands-on activities that foster independence, confidence, and curiosity. I also have one year of teaching experience in a Montessori classroom with children ages 2–6 and am currently continuing my work in the Montessori environment. This experience has strengthened my ability to support child-led learning, encourage independence, and design engaging, developmentally appropriate activities. I am dedicated to building positive connections with both children and families, supporting each family’s unique values and needs. Whether establishing smooth routines, organizing enriching activities, or creating a safe, joyful environment, I’m here to help your child thrive in a way that honors their individuality.
