Hi! My name is Abby, and I'm a 20-year-old student at Utah Valley University studying pre-nursing. Caring for others has always been a passion of mine, and I hope to become a labor and delivery nurse in the future. For the past five years, I've worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) in an assisted living community, where I've developed patience, responsibility, and strong caregiving skills. During the summer of 2026, I also had the incredible opportunity to live in Romania on a humanitarian trip, caring for children with special needs in local orphanages. I also worked as a teacher's aide in a second-grade classroom at Orem Elementary for a full school year. I strive to create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children feel supported and encouraged to learn and grow. I love building meaningful relationships with the families I work with and am dependable, patient, organized, and committed to providing compassionate, reliable care for your family.
We interviewed Abby and had a positive initial impression. She was out of the country, so we waited about a week for a scheduled a trial with our son for when she returned. Less than 24 hours before the trial, she cancelled — she had accepted another position, which is completely understandable if she hadn't already made commitments. We had specifically discussed reliability as an important factor for our family, and this experience made us unsure we could recommend her on that front. We also had to reach out first to learn about the change, rather than hearing from her proactively. If you're considering her, I'd suggest being clear upfront about availability and communication expectations.
