About Abby

Working with kids isn't always easy, but I believe it's worthwhile because the way we treat children helps determine who they become, and to a greater extent, the world we live in. I am a Christian and a college graduate (English major, French minor, some psych classes) with over 6 years of childcare experience ages 0-8, most notably as a nanny for an infant and toddler and as a live-in helper for three girls ages 0-6. I love taking kids out for adventures to explore the area. I believe there's rarely bad weather - I've seen kids thrive outside! My preferred approach is to be hands-on with children as much as needed and as little as possible. I value independent play, self-exploration, and autonomy. Children are capable of entertaining themselves if we let them. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions for me!
