This recognition reminds me of the incredible families and children who have shaped my journey in early childhood education — experiences that continue to inspire my work today through Heart-to-Heart with Abagaba and the podcast.
ABOUT
I’m Abigail, aka Abby or Abagaba — a devoted mama of twins, a deep listener, and the heart behind this podcast. Heart to Heart with Abagaba was born from quiet moments and messy ones too — the bedtime questions, the kitchen talks, the car-ride reflection. I believe every family has beauty worth honoring, and every child brings their own kind of magic. Let’s celebrate it together.
THE BOOKS
Heart to Heart with Abagaba
A Nanny/Teacher Reflection
A celebration of children, caregiving, and the small, sacred lessons found in the classroom and playroom alike. This reflection reminds us that every shared moment — from laughter to learning — shapes the heart of both child and caregiver.
My Mom's Incredible Voice
A Memoir of Honoring My Parents
A deeply personal story of family, legacy, and gratitude. Through words and memory, I honor the voices that guided me, and the enduring love that continues to inspire my work and my heart.
AUTHOR AND PODCASTER
I’ve spent years as both a nanny and a teacher, learning from the children and families who welcomed me into their worlds. Through Heart-to-Heart with Abagaba, I share what those experiences continue to teach me — that care is a universal language, and that each story told in love has the power to reach another heart.
Writing and podcasting have become my way of celebrating those everyday heroes — parents, teachers, and caregivers — who show up with kindness, curiosity, and grace. I believe that by reflecting together, we not only remember what matters most, but also find new ways to grow.
“Each story shared keeps the heart of care alive.”
