My name is Abbey. I specialize in infant care, though I have been a nanny for more than ten years. I have a Bachelor's degree in English and Writing from Indiana Wesleyan University and work part time as a freelance editor. In the meantime, I am pursuing my other passion--working with kids. I'm CPR and First Aid certified for infants, children, and adults. I have experience with special needs babies (e.g., feeding tubes, preemies, etc.). I can go on and on about why I love the first stages of a child's life, but I would prefer to meet for coffee to talk it over in person! I live in Winona Lake, IN but am okay with commuting. I'm married with one little puppy named Aiden. Other things I love-- whales, sitcoms, Jesus, my four siblings, and reading of course!
