I have over 5 years of childcare experience, working with children ranging from newborns to age 13. Throughout high school and into college, I’ve babysat for multiple families in my hometown, building a strong reputation as dependable, patient, and fun. My responsibilities have included preparing meals, organizing playtime and activities, helping with homework, and keeping children on safe routines.
Currently, I’m a student at Howard University, majoring in Psychology with a focus on children and development. My academic background has strengthened my understanding of child behavior, communication, and emotional needs, which I apply when babysitting. In addition, my leadership roles in school and community service projects have taught me responsibility, creativity, and how to keep kids engaged in safe, enjoyable ways.
I combine hands-on childcare experience with an academic foundation in child psychology, making me well-prepared to provide a nurturing and reliable babysitting service.

Hello! My name is Abigail Cline. I am 17 years old and I am in college. I have been a babysitter for 10 years and took a break to do a job that I love which is helping moms who are postpartum and pregnant for 4 years. I do have references if you need to speak with them. I am fun and friendly and love playing with kiddos.
As a proud graduate of Milton Hershey School, I have been fortunate to receive a well-rounded education that emphasized the importance of the arts, music, and athletics. This foundation has allowed me to explore and develop my passions in various creative and athletic endeavors.
My artistic journey encompasses a love for drawing, painting, and crafting unique handmade items, which I find both therapeutic and fulfilling. These creative outlets not only bring me joy but also enable me to express myself in meaningful ways.
Musically, I am proficient in playing the ukulele and possess a solid understanding of music theory. This combination allows me to appreciate and create music that resonates with others.
Athletically, I was an active member of my school's varsity soccer team, where I learned the values of teamwork, discipline, and perseverance—principles that continue to guide me in all aspects of life.
In my professional life, I work as a teller, where I strive to bring kindness and patience to every interaction. I take pride in creating positive and enriching environments, whether collaborating on a creative project or contributing to a team effort.
