Hi!!!! My name is Ashley. I’ve been babysitting on and off for a little over two years. I took some time away to focus on school and earn my CNA certification, and I’ve now been working as a Certified Nursing Assistant for almost three years. I currently work PRN for a hospice company, but my true passion has always been caring for children. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment where they can learn, play, and feel comfortable. When I was 15 years old, I completed a babysitting certification course, giving me a strong foundation in child care and safety. I would love the opportunity to care for your little ones and provide dependable, compassionate care. Thank you so much for taking the time to learn a little about me I look forward to meeting your family!

I am a college student (majoring in elementary education). I have a really strong passion for kids, which explains my major. I have 4 years of experience working with infants-toddlers. you can add a few extra years if we’re considering the experience I have with my younger siblings, lol. Most importantly, I enjoy being around kids. I enjoy answering their random questions, listening to their stories, playing games with them & so much more. If you are wondering, I do have a certificate in CPR/First Aid. No worries. I am very great with kids. In my opinion, kids make the world a better place!
