Hi! My name is Ashley, and I’m currently looking for a summer nannying position. I love working with children, and being a nanny feels like the perfect fit for me!

I’m fluent in English, Spanish, and French, and I’d be happy to speak to your child in whichever language you prefer or even help them learn a new one. I have experience caring for my two younger siblings and have also babysat for several years, so I’m comfortable with children of different ages.

I’m responsible, patient, energetic, and always willing to help however I can. I’d love the opportunity to become a dependable and positive part of your family this summer!
