About Abigail
Experience: 10 yrs
I've been nannying, tutoring and helping parents on and off for 17 years, giving me 12+ years of experience. I have 3 children of my own, ages 23 months (son), 3 (daughter) & 6 (daughter). My kids are mild tempered and fun loving and LOVE making new friends. My daughters will be in Pre-school & 1st Grade beginning August 26th. (Dad will pick them up from school so I can stay nannying as late as 5-5:30pm) My youngest accompanies me when I nanny. I love taking the kids on walks, going out on adventures or reading books, baking and doing crafts. I can help with Light Housekeeping and laundry as needed. I'm experienced with gently guiding kids into a healthy sleeping routine as well as with potty-training. I have twin and infant experience and am experienced with cloth diapering. I have a reliable vehicle that can seat 7 passengers with up to 6 of them being car seats and a robust double stroller to haul the littles. Letter of recommendation and references are available upon request.

Abigail was such a wonderful nanny for my growing family. She is the right combination of loving & structured. She helped teach the kids new skills such as cooking, baking, & swimming. She was great at crafting with them and playing pretend. She is a hard worker. I knew my kids were getting the love & care they needed when I was working, which allowed me to focus at my job. I always came home to to clean house, happy kids, & sometimes, even a yummy casserole in the oven. You would be fortunate to have such a wonderful caregiver such as Abigail to look after your little one(s).
