"Ashley, was the first person outside of family to watch our 2 children ages 3 months (boy) and 1.5 year old (girl) and to our delight, Ashley went above what we could imagine for our nanny and quickly adjusted to our families’ schedule creating a smooth transition for my children. My son suffered from colic. Ashley had previous experience with colic babies and showed very little frustration. Ashley is gifted with very nurturing and patient qualities. She stayed with our family for 4 years., working over 50 hours a week . I have found Ashley to be dependable, flexible, and trustworthy. She is in tune with my children and loves to interact with them by finding creative ways to have fun. We have traveled several times with Ashley, which made the trips go smoothly. Ashley also helped with housekeeping, errands, transportation to children activities etc. Ashley can be regarded as an exceptional experienced nanny who cares about children.. We are grateful to have had her in our life."
