A little bit about me

My name is Ashley. I'm a mom of 2. I have a 8 year old daughters Ava and a 3 year old daughter Amelia. I'm a resently single mom who is also 5 mouths pregnant. I'm looking for a source of income in an area I understand, children. Being a mom myself I believe I can nurture and understand the needs of your little ones better then someone who is not.
With a baby on the way, I've found it hard for regular 9-5 jobs to except me knowing I'll be out on leave in a short time.
I could say a pitch of how hard working and great I am, but I believe for this my own children would show the kind of care I would bring to any child.
I'm hoping to be able to bring my 3 year old with me when babysitting. She's playful, Compassionate, full of energy, and quit the sassy pants. In this bright age children crave independence but with a safety blanket and I believe that is what I give to my own children and would love to do for someone else's who needs that extra help.
Us moms understand.
