Hello! My name is Ashlin. I’m 28 and work as a court reporter. I’ve babysat most of my life, starting with my brothers and cousins when I was about 13 and took the Junior League babysitting certification course. I also work at a church nursery twice a week. I’m CPR certified and love kids. With the flexibility of my job, I can take on babysitting gigs on the side! I’m from Nola but lived in Chicago for college and then Germany for a few years. I’m excited to be back in Louisiana but certainly have an adventurous bug.
