I bring a calm, reliable, and highly professional presence to every home and team I support.

I am known for being proactive, highly organized, and deeply respectful of family dynamics and privacy. I understand that trust is the foundation of this type of work, and I take that responsibility seriously. I bring warmth, consistency, and professionalism to every role.

Hello. My name is Abigail (abby) and I am a pre- school teacher working primarily with 3 year-olds. I enjoy my job and getting to educate while having fun with my beautiful students. Prior to this I have worked in day care centers so I have 2 years worth of experience assisting and providing essential care for children. Helping children with basic skill needs of any age is what I do best because I love seeing the transition/transformation as they grow up into little toddlers and exploring different opportunities. I am currently in school (full- time) online pursuing my Master’s degree in teaching special education and elementary. My goal is to ensure and provide children/students the best opportunity through consistency and engagement. Thank you.

I’m looking for positions where I can be a trusted asset while providing a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment for children to grow and thrive.

A Bit About Me – My Journey in Childcare Back in 2017, I found myself stepping into the world of childcare, mostly curious (and a little excited) about the fun, messy, and unpredictable world of daycare. What started as just a job quickly turned into something more—I realized how much I genuinely enjoy being around kids and helping them grow. That spark led me to enroll at Medgar Evers College in Brooklyn to study childhood education more seriously. For about 3.5 years, I wore a lot of different hats in daycares—everything from assistant teacher to lead teacher—working with little ones as young as 6 months all the way up to 5 years old. After that, I shifted gears a bit and spent a year in afterschool programs with the older kids (ages 5 to 13) as a group leader. I’ve also been a helping hand for a few families on the side, stepping in whenever they’ve needed extra support. What I love most are the everyday moments with the kids—the silly laughs, the unexpected questions, the small wins that mean everything. No two days are ever the same, and that’s what keeps it exciting. For me, it’s all about being part of a child’s journey, watching them grow, and knowing I played even a small part in it.
