About Abigail
Experience: 8 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
CERTIFIED TEACHER!!! About me: I am a 26-year-old special education teacher along with having a degree in elementary education. I'm looking for some extra hours on the weekends. I am very flexible and have a lot of experience with children of all ages. From Fall 2020-July 2022 I worked as a live in nanny (Boston area) before becoming a certified teacher. I'm still very close with the family and often see the now 4yr old and 7yr old every 5-6 weeks if the time allows! Along with this experience, I have worked in my mother's home daycare since I was very young and I have been babysitting since I was 12 years old. I have lots of patience, love getting the kids out of the house and involved with the community. I am very enthusiastic along with being responsible. ~Let me know what you're looking for

Abigail has been the most exceptional babysitter to our daughter on our summer visits to the east coast for the past three years. We connected with her through my cousin who sang Abigail’s praises so effusively, we assumed she must be exaggerating, but no, no she wasn’t. Abigail is kind, caring, and fun, but also has a firm hand when needed. Our daughter would come back from days spent with Abigail and announce that she now can pump on the swing by herself or some other milestone of independence because Abigail helped her see she was more than capable of trying and succeeding at it. Abigail always demonstrated sound judgement and over time, we came to rely on her more and more. Afternoon babysitting became full days and from there we added occasional evenings and now we feel more than comfortable with her taking our daughter on day trips to the beach, amusement parks, and so on. If we lived closer to Abigail, we would employ her even more (sadly we have no one we like or trust as much her local to us), but a bright spot of our summers is seeing her and having our daughter spend time with her. We would recommend her to anyone enthusiastically and without any reservations.
