Hello, My name is Abbey. I have been in Visual Merchandising and Retail Operations for 15 years. After some deep reflection and assessment of my overall happiness, I decided to make a change in my career. In 2013 I left the security of my job, and do something that I am truly passionate about. Take care of children. They give my soul such peace and joy. Watching a child develop and learn new things everyday is so rewarding to me. I love their innocence, sense of adventure, and energy. I have taken care of newborns to early teenagers. I have mostly babysat for multiple families, but I am looking to transition into a full time nanny. I am a fun, energetic, responsible, patient, and loving woman. I am a great communicator and I feel that I was always meant to take care of people. I have been told that I Read more am a natural born teacher and caregiver. If I am not taking care of children, I am taking care of sick friends or relatives. However, It's very tough to see the ones you love in pain. So I like to stick with the kiddos! I am CPR certified. I do not currently have formal education in child development and early education. However, I do have on the job experience, and have read every book there is on it! My fee is negotiable, as well as schedule. If needed I can stay late or overnight or do a weekend. I would treat your children as if they were one of my own. (although, I don't have any) I hope to hear from you soon! Abbey
