A little bit about me

My name is Ashley I am a 24 year old female with two sons! Dreyson is 6 and kashton is 4. I’m a stay at home mom, I spend a lot of time cooking cleaning and spending time with my sons. This summer I wanted to get a part time to make a little extra money for my family. My hobbies are organizing, listening to music and movies! My passion is my kids , cooking and learning as much as I can everyday. I am trustworthy and responsible! The experience I have taking care of children is I helped raise my siblings and I started babysitting on Saturday nights for a family friend and that turned into a couple nights a week. I love kids and I enjoy teaching them and watching them discover new things.
I will start pay at $14 an hour but that’s negotiable. (: I’m very kind and love to care for others. (I did have a rough past but I am growing and learning how to be better and do better everyday).

A little bit about me

Greetings families, my husband and I just moved to Indiana from Nebraska. My previous job was at a childcare facility for the Airforce base in Omaha as a government paid job. I love the toddler stage because I get to see how their brains work or aha moment happens when they play or learn. I am willing and able to help with any age! Through this past job a few parents have asked me to babysit more than once. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out!!!
