Hi there! My name is Abbie. I've had a love for kids for as long as I can remember. My first (official) job working at a YMCA daycare really started my "career" in childcare. I started babysitting for a few family friends and then created a Care.com page where I professionally cared for mostly newborns and toddlers for several years. Interacting, entertaining and caring for children is a passion of mine, truly. I'm a retired ballerina with experience teaching kids ages 3-13. I also have a love for farming, animals, homesteading and basically anything outdoors. You can rest easy knowing your kids are safe and entertained while I'm caring for them.
