After rescuing, fostering & volunteering with animals in Charlotte NC, I immediately knew the next step was to open a pet care service business once I moved to Washington DC. I am the business owner. See Fairy Tails, LLC for Yelp reviews.
8 years of babysitting experience has taught me patience and adaptability. I’ve also worked as a dog walker and cleaner, making me comfortable with household responsibilities.
Hello! My name is Abby, I’m 27 years old and I have lived in DC for the last 5 years! I moved here from Wisconsin in 2020 to earn my Master’s in Political Science at American University which I got in 2022, and currently work at the Administration for Children and Families at HHS. I’ve been at HHS for the last 3 years, and previously worked on the Hill and in campaigns. I have experience watching children from infancy to pre-teens, and love working with all age groups! Additionally, I have a bachelor’s in psychology with a focus in child/adolescent and social psychology, and worked full time in a daycare while in college with toddlers-school aged children. I am a pet lover, and have a dog of my own! I have access to a car, and a clean driving record. I love to cook, read, play games and craft, and will do all the above with your children so they have fun and are stimulated! I always follow parental guidance on screens and technology, and am more than happy to keep your kids off them and keep them entertained through play and creativity! As I do work a full time job, I am mostly available on weekends and the occasional weeknight evening after 6:30pm.
“Abby was great! My kids gave rave reviews. She was communicative, punctual, and very sweet. We will definitely use her again. ”
Pre-med Psych student at Howard U, CCMA certified, CPR trained. Natural with kid, patient, fun, responsible. Experience with infants through teens. I grew up with 3 younger brothers! Honor student & background check ready. LINKEDIN RESUME: [removed]

"UrbanSitter has supported my needs for reliable and joyful sitters. Whether it be for work, recreation or last-minute emergencies, we've made wonderful relationships with local sitters who have become a part of our family!"

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
Laura F., mom of two
