A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Ashley, and I'm a caring and experienced childcare provider with a strong background working with children of all ages-from newborns to 12 years old. I've worked in both elementary school and preschool settings, as well as specifically as an infant teacher, so I'm very comfortable supporting developmental needs at every stage. In addition to classroom experience, I've also nannied for a family with five children, which has strengthened my ability to stay organized, patient, and attentive in busy environments while still making sure each child feels seen and supported.
I truly enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing space where kids can learn, grow, and be themselves. Whether it's helping with routines, engaging in creative play, or supporting learning activities, I bring a positive and dependable energy to every family I work with.

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m a 20 year old female. I have always had a love for children and my last job was as a paraprofessional at Charyl Stockwell Academy in Howell, MI. I’m a goofy, fun person with kids but also know how and when to set boundaries. I’m hoping to find a live in position as I currently don’t have a vehicle.
My love for kids comes from my past. I spent 6 years in the foster care system where I was abused from 3-9 years old and have always wanted to shelter young minds from the same things I went through. I hope to be a mom one day but for now I would love an opportunity to help someone out with their kid(s).
