About Abbey

29 years old Speaks English
I have grown up in a family of five. A loving family that I am very lucky to have. My sister Chloe is one of my biggest inspirations in life, she has Down Syndrome. She drives and motivates me to be a better person every day. Being a part of Chloe's world has been a huge part of my life and that's why children with special needs holds a close place to my heart. I believe it’s something they have and not who they are. I've volunteered and worked at many schools and camps. Taught dance classes and singing lessons to those who don't get the opportunity's and done a lot of nannying. I'm currently working at Cricket Green School here in London as a teaching assistant. A school for children with special needs. The school ranges from pre-school up to 6th form. I'm often moving around on a day to day basis in different classrooms getting to know all the kids and working with them one on one. I'm currently working with a little boy with server autism. He is 4 years old and the sweetest little thing. We have been together for about 2 months now and everyday I feel like we make progress and I get to know him better. I have the experience, the personality, the active lifestyle and the right attitude.
