Hi! My name is Abby, and I am a caring, dependable, and hardworking caregiver who loves helping people of all ages. I have taught swim lessons for 4 years, am CPR and Red Cross certified, and hold my ParaPro certification. I absolutely love working with children and enjoy doing crafts, playing games, swimming, helping with homework, and keeping kids active and engaged. I have also grown up with animals my entire life and am comfortable caring for pets of every breed, size, and age. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or providing extra attention and care, I’m happy to help. I also enjoy spending time with seniors and providing companionship and assistance. My goal is always to create a safe, positive, and caring environment for every child, pet, and family I work with.
