I have several years of experience with taking care of animals; I had cats and fish in my childhood home and I grew-up doing chores on my aunt and uncle's dairy farm which included taking care of cows, chickens, pigs, ducks and cats. More recently I have done some house sitting for periods of time for as short as 2 days and for as long as month, which included taking care of a dog and required walking the dog for up to 4 times a day. I am currently taking care of a cat for 3 months.

I am reliable, caring, focused and through. I am calm and have an ease with animals. I am excellent at following directions and am highly communicative if I have questions about the care of your animal which stands outside of the expected behaviour or routine of the animal that I am caring for, or if I have the slightest concern. One of the dogs that I cared for had a torn muscle and I regularly gave him his medicine, effectively maintained restrictions of his movement and kept a walking routine per the veterinarian's recommendations.

I can not say enough great things about Abigail. She babysat for my children (now 6 and 9 years old) since my oldest was an infant. She is mature, reliable, an excellent communicator, and the kids adore her. As two full time working parents, we rely on our "village" to help raise our children. She was an incredibly important part of that village for us. She did regular after school slots for us and spelled us for "date nights". She is the only person outside of my family I would have considered leaving the kids with overnight. We miss her - the kids want to move to Canada so Abigail can be their sitter still!

Abigail babysat my older son for almost 2 years before she moved out of town. My wife and I had to go for work as long as 8 hours. Abigail was expected to come early in the morning (depending on our schedule) and fed my son 3 times and had him take a nap or two before we came back home. She was capable of doing all those with no problem. In addition, she always tried to understand the development of my son and provided helpful material even before we asked her to. Sometimes, she would propose some good ideas about books and toys. When he was too young, she would carry him around the house and show/name the items. When he was ready to learn phrases/sentences, she would reinforce those expressions so that my son was able to learn and use them. She would voluntarily borrow fun/interesting books from a library and bring them to read for my son on her day. She was always polite and nice not just to us but to my son as well. She respected the emotion of my son and things that my son cared. My son always enjoyed the time. When my wife and I had (any) issues/concerns with my son, she was a good person to talk to since we believed that she understood my son as much as we did. When my son started expressing himself, she often said Abigail was his best friend. So we spared Mondays to have Abigail when we were able to send my son to a daycare for almost free (My wife and I were both graduate students and were able to send my son to the university daycare for almost free). I feel quite sorry for my son since he could not have her any more since she is out of town (actually country). If you are looking for a babysitter, I can't think of better person than Abigail.
