A little bit about me
Hello I’m Ashley! I am the oldest child in my family with six younger siblings and have spent countless hours caring for them. I have been a nanny for a family with two girls (2, 6) as well as a nanny for a different family with two boys (2, 6). I am experienced in housekeeping, meal prepping, allergy prevention, overnight sitting, watching multiple children at once, caring for infants/toddlers, and making sure kids are safe and feel comfortable. I am CPR certified and trained in First Aid as well. As a psychology major I like to plan developmentally engaging activities and love to get the kids outside as much as possible! I absolutely adore kids and strive to provide the best possible love and care for them.

"Ashley is a wonderful nanny. She has left an indelible impression in our hearts. Ashley was consistent, nurturing, and always would go above and beyond for our family. Ashley was always thinking about fun things to do with our girls, like taking them for ice cream, playing dress up with them, making cookies or even making slime (outside of course)!"

"Grey would make a great asset to any family. He is caring, empathetic, responsible, and dependable.
Grey has a great sense of anticipating what needs to be done, and executing with minimal direction. He is timely and responsible. He has great natural common sense, that not everyone is able to have.
My family grew attached to Grey during his services. He listens to others well and responds appropriately with empathy. He follows a schedule and when it needs altered due to unforeseen circumstances, he is able to redirect smoothly.
Grey communicates well verbally, in writing, and in electronic communications. He is prompt to respond when we contact him.
I appreciate Grey's natural ability to care for others as well as maintain structure and organization.
He also is a great cook and helps keep the house clean and tidy.
It has been our pleasure to know Grey over the past year and wish him much success in his future endeavors."
