Abigail Peddycord
@abigailpeddycord
Childcare Teaching Assistant focused on safe, nurturing learning support.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a patient, calm Teaching Assistant who supports lead teachers with everyday tasks and lessons while monitoring children and keeping their physical and emotional well-being the priority. I step in when children are ill or hurt, communicate with parents/guardians as needed, and help maintain a safe, positive environment.
I also bring hands-on experience caring for children as a Private Nanny—providing attentive, nurturing care, supporting routines and milestones, and maintaining good communication with parents about behavioral or health concerns. I help with light housekeeping and meal prep, and I use age-appropriate, playful learning to support healthy development.
Alongside childcare, I’ve worked in fast-paced service roles, including serving residents by taking orders, communicating with kitchen staff, handling requests, and keeping a pleasant attitude for long shifts. I’m comfortable multitasking, running meals and supplies, and keeping areas clean and organized.
My background also includes animal-focused work as a Stable Hand, where I monitored animals’ health, fed, groomed, bathed, kept barns clean, and safely handled animals while responding quickly to changing situations. I bring that same readiness, care, and responsibility to every setting I’m in.
