Hi, my name is Ashley. I am an experienced nanny and family assistant with over 10 years of childcare experience working with children from newborns to teenagers.
I have provided both short-term and long-term care, including overnight and extended stays, and I'm comfortable caring for multiple children, including twins. I also volunteered at an orphanage in Mexico, where I supervised large groups, supported routines, and guided positive behavior.
I am CPR/First Aid certified, bilingual (English/Spanish), and comfortable with pets. I focus on creating a safe, engaging, and structured environment while supporting routines like meals, homework, and bedtime.
I am reliable, calm, and attentive, and I value building strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents. I love kids and am thrilled to get to know your family

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Allyssa Sage Owens, but I go by my middle name, Sage. I am 19 years old and in school pursuing a nursing degree! I am taking summer classes but also want a job, preferably working with kids, so I am not so caught up in just school! A little bit about me: I am a caring, responsible, and dependable person who genuinely loves being around kids and helping them feel safe, happy, and supported. I am patient and calm in those stressful moments, and I do my best to create a positive environment where children can feel understood and encouraged. I’m someone who takes my responsibilities seriously, but I also lead with kindness and heart in everything I do. Having experience helping care for others in my life, I’ve learned how important it is to be attentive, trustworthy, and consistent. I would treat any child I care for with the same level of love, patience, and respect that I would want for my own family!
