Hi! My name is Abby and I have 10 years experience babysitting multiple kiddos at a time and of all ages. Originally from GA, I moved to Chicago after graduating with a degree in theatre in order to be in a more arts-centric environment. When I moved up to Chicago in August 2012, I was a full time nanny for a 12 month old and newborn during the day and balanced 4-6 other families on nights and weekends. I feel comfortable with all ages, with multiple kids, and with special needs. I am CPR and first-aid certified and have worked as a theatre teacher, so you'll know your kids are safe and in an fun, creative, and educational environment. Contact me with any other questions and thanks for your consideration! References available upon request.

Abby was wonderful. She arrived early and was good with our 19 month old. She was so great with him when he started having some separation anxiety. He loved her!

I was so worried about my middle child who has been super clingy lately. But she never looked back when we left and they had a great time!
