A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Ashley — a career nanny with 10+ years of experience caring for children from newborns through school age. My background includes long-term nanny roles, school-based experience, and work as a birth/postpartum doula, so I’m confident supporting both infants and growing families through every stage.

My approach is calm, reliable, and rooted in Montessori-inspired, child-led learning. I love creating structured, engaging days with outings, sensory play, and lots of opportunities for independence and growth.

I’m CPR/First Aid certified, have a clean driving record, and bring a steady, positive presence into every home I work in.

I’m currently based in Massachusetts and open to relocating for the right long-term fit. I’d love to connect!

"If you have the chance to hire Ashley—take it immediately. She was with our family for 3.5 years and became so much more than a nanny. She was a constant, trusted, and deeply loved presence in our children’s lives. Our kids absolutely adore her and still ask for her, which says everything—we continue to use her for date nights because no one compares. Ashley has that rare mix of warmth, intuition, and professionalism. She is reliable, calm, communicative, and incredibly capable. She doesn’t just supervise children—she connects with them, engages them, and truly understands them. Our kids felt safe, happy, and genuinely cared for every day. She made our lives easier in every way and brought so much joy into our home. Finding someone like Ashley is incredibly rare—whoever hires her next will be unbelievably lucky."

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

10+ years of professional childcare experience including long-term nanny roles, school-based teaching, and birth/postpartum doula support. Extensive hands-on experience with newborns and infants, including feeding, sleep routines, and developmental milestones.

Background in Montessori-inspired, child-led care with a focus on independence, emotional regulation, and age-appropriate learning. Comfortable managing full daily routines, multiple children, outings, and transitions.

CDA (Infant/Toddler), EEC Lead Teacher certified, CPR/First Aid/AED certified, with a clean driving record and reliable vehicle.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love creating fun, engaging days through a mix of outings and at-home activities. We spend time exploring parks, libraries, museums, and local play spaces, along with music, movement, sensory play, and age-appropriate learning activities.

I also focus on encouraging independence and creativity — whether that’s helping little ones build confidence through play, explore their interests, or work through big feelings in a supportive way.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Building trust — with both the child and the parents. When a child feels safe, understood, and supported, everything else naturally falls into place. I focus on creating a calm, consistent environment where children can grow, explore, and feel confident, while also maintaining open, reliable communication with parents.

My experience with special needs children...

I have experience supporting children with varying needs, including speech delays and emotional regulation challenges. I take a calm, patient, and individualized approach — focusing on consistency, clear communication, and meeting each child where they are developmentally.

I’m comfortable collaborating with parents and following guidance from specialists (such as speech or occupational therapists) to help reinforce strategies and support progress in a natural, everyday setting.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Being greeted like a celebrity when I walk in — the excitement, the hugs, the “Ashley’s here!” moments — and then getting to watch them grow and master new skills, whether it’s first words, steps, or little moments of independence. Those moments never get old.
