Lakeside Babysitters

I am from a family of 8 children and have been babysitting since I was a kid. I have been a full-time nanny since I was in college about 30 years ago. I am calm and patient and all kids love me.

Howdy, I’m Abby! I was born in Fort Worth and moved to Austin in 2008. I began working with children at this time, volunteering in the nursery at my church. I have experience with kids of all ages as well as neurodiversity. In my free time I like to listen to live music, read, roller skate, and volunteer with animals. Please let me know in advance of any sickness or doctor’s appointments so I can plan accordingly with other families and avoid spreading anything, thank you!

I am currently a Montessori school teacher for toddlers age 2-4 in Steiner Ranch. Before this, while I was in school I was a nanny for several years for three different families for two newborns and a 4 year old. I worked for boys and girls club and also as a substitute teacher all throughout college and I’ve always know that working with children in any capacity brought me joy! It’s one of the most fun and rewarding things you can do :)
