I have over six plus years of experience in both paid and volunteer childcare. I worked as a full-time nanny for a family with two girls, then transitioned to a full-time role caring for a young boy for two years, providing daily care while managing household responsibilities like errands, scheduling, and light meal prep. Before nannying, I worked at several youth camps as an assistant STEAM teacher and camp counselor, leading group activities and supporting classroom learning, and at a childrenβs museum engaging kids through interactive play. These roles have given me deep experience in communication, child development, and multitasking in high-energy environments. I recently moved to Georgia to be closer to family and am now looking to relocate to California.

Hi!!!! My name is Ashley. Iβve 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 Iβve 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!
