Hi! I'm Abby, a caring, responsible, and patient sitter based in Howard County. I'm 21 years old and recently completed my B.A. in Psychology at the University of Maryland–Baltimore County with a minor in dance. I have a strong background in childcare, including hands-on experience through a paid internship as a behavior technician with Advancing Beyond the Spectrum, where I worked closely with nonverbal children with autism using ABA therapy techniques. Working with kids brings me so much joy, it allows me to connect with my inner child, and I truly value the trust families place in me. I'm always ready to meet new challenges with a positive attitude and an open mind. In addition to childcare, I'm also happy to help with pets, I'm an animal lover too! Whether you're looking for someone dependable for occasional sitting or more regular support, I’d love to be part of your family's Read more care team.

Abby was such a dream to work with. She volunteered her own time to come have a meet and greet with my child a few days before our scheduled job. Each time she sat for me she arrived early, she always had fun ideas of things for them to do, and she was 100% engaged with my child during the whole sitting job. She was incredibly flexible with last-minute changes and would text me with updates during the day. We could not have survived the summer without her!
