Hello, my name is Abby! I am 16 years old. I attended Penn Foster for high school and was able to graduate early. I currently work at a daycare center in Charles Town and started as a volunteer when I was 13. My experience includes being an aide in the infant room, working with the 3 year olds, and being a substitute teacher for all the classroom ages. I am CPR and first aid certified, have a valid drivers license and reliable transportation. The only reason I am considering leaving my current position is to have a more personal one-on-one with the children in a smaller setting. I will have references upon request. I hope to hear from you soon!
