Abby 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I am friendly, reliable, and punctual. I love working with kids and also pets such as dogs and cats. I have years of experience engaging with little ones while being patient, attentive, and organized. I always ensure your child's safety comes first while also having lots of fun and learning new things. Please reach out if you think I could be a great fit for your family :)

Abby was more than wonderful! We booked her last minute to help support with my nephew. Even with uncertain weather, Abby not only showed up but showed out. She was punctual, dependable and my nephew Kam couldn't wait for her to come back the next day. They did crafts together and we were impressed with the way she maintained routine even though she was new to all instructions. Absolutely recommend Abby!

I have raised 3 wonderful, successful children. I was keeping my grandson the past year and am doing Senior Dementia care most mornings so needing hours to complete the week and enjoy taking care of others. I have done my time in the corporate world too. Please consider my gifts to help your family! Everyone deserves kindness and grace. I am a teacher by trade so have the education qualification as well as experience. Thank you, Carol

I'm a Registered Behavior Technician who loves caring for both children and animals. My career has taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and providing compassionate, individualized care—qualities I bring to every pet I look after. I'm a proud pet parent to my sweet tabby cat, Milo, and my Great Pyrenees mix, Sadie. They are truly part of my family, so I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping a familiar routine, I'll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
