A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Ashton, and I’m a nurturing, creative nanny with a strong passion for early childhood development. I truly enjoy spending time with children and love engaging them through hands-on activities like arts and crafts, nature walks, and imaginative play. I’m especially inspired by the Montessori approach, which encourages independence, curiosity, and respect for a child’s natural development. I always strive to create a calm, supportive environment where children can explore at their own pace and feel safe, seen, and encouraged. I'm excited to bring my energy, creativity, and care to a family that values connection, learning, and joyful everyday moments.

Babysitter Available in Kalamazoo, MI: Kayla R.

I’m currently going into my senior year of college at western Michigan university where I will receive my bachelor’s degree of business administration. I love being a sitter because I truly enjoy spending time with children, helping them learn, grow, and have fun in a safe environment. Every child has a unique personality, and it's rewarding to build connections with them and see their confidence and creativity develop. I find joy in creating engaging activities and making sure kids feel cared for and supported. I have experience working as a camp counselor, where I was responsible for supervising and engaging up to five children at a time, ranging from ages 2 to 14. In this role, I organized activities, ensured safety, and provided guidance tailored to each age group. I am CPR and First Aid certified, which means I am trained to handle emergency situations and provide immediate care if needed. I have strong skills in communication, patience, problem-solving, and multitasking.
