About Abbie
Experience: 8 yrs
Recent graduate of Hope College, Holland MI. BA Psychology. Over my years of college, I have nannied consistently for a family in Holland, as well as gaining experience with children in educational settings as well as working with children with special needs. I have experience with the adult special needs populations as well. My coursework in psychology has led me to enjoy educational psychology, as well as developmental psychology; especially childhood development. Some of my favorite activities to keep little's busy are reading, coloring, painting, listening to music, and spending time outside. I am all for exploration and enjoying life away from a TV or tablet! My experience working with children daily throughout my college career has led me to a passion in positive and healthy nurturing all while fostering an environment centered in engagement, creativity, and respect. If you think I would be a good fit for what you and your family are in search of, I would love to hear from you!

Abbie has worked with our family for four years while she's been in college. We have two kids, now 11 and 8. She picked them up from school, would help them with homework, take them to activities, and keep them busy for a few hours after school. She would also work weekends, both during the day and evening when we needed her. She has been so good with our daughter, she has some health issues and Abbie was very caring, understanding and empathetic! She always did what we asked of her and loves our kiddos!!
