A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Ashley. I’m originally from Michigan and naturally drawn to calm routines, creativity, and helping others feel at ease. In my free time, I enjoy journaling, organizing spaces, and spending time outdoors. These moments help keep me grounded and balanced. I bring that same energy into the families I work with by offering warmth, patience, and a calming presence in every home.

Being a nanny is something I truly love. I believe in nurturing each child’s personality, encouraging creativity, and creating an environment where they feel safe, happy, and heard. I’m here to support your family and care for your little ones with the same love and attention I’d give my own.

A little bit about me

Hi there! My name is Cherrell, and I’ve been working as a nanny since 2020, but I’ve been in the childcare field since 2013. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of working with more than 11 families — most for a year or longer. Each position ended on good terms due to job changes, family moves, or families growing and adjusting their childcare needs.

My longest placement is with the family I’m currently with — we’ve been together for a little over 3 years now! I also worked with another family who started with me in a daycare setting and later transitioned into nanny share care, which also lasted 3 wonderful years.
