A little bit about me

I am an experienced educator and mentor with a strong background in childcare, youth development, and positive role modeling. I have taught English, Personal Finance, and Project Management within the public schools system. I create inclusive, structured environments that support academic and emotional growth. I’ve worked with children from Pre-K to 12th grade, adapting to diverse needs and maintaining classroom safety and engagement. My leadership as President of FIU’s Big Sister, Little Sister Program involved mentoring young women, planning community-building events, and fostering a supportive space for growth. I’ve also volunteered as a teacher’s assistant, reinforcing my passion for working with children and supporting their learning journeys. I’m fluent in English and Creole, patient, reliable, and committed to helping children thrive in safe, nurturing environments.

Ashley S. - Seeking Work in Plantation

Part-Time Child Care Provider Available in Plantation, FL: Ashley S.

I’m 29 years-old. I’m a Marine Corps brat. I coach gymnastics and currently house sit, pet sit, and babysit athletes I formerly coached and their neighbors. I became first responder certified at 18. I graduated from The Citizens Police Academy for Pembroke Pines Police Department in 2015 at age 21 & recently graduated from The Citizens Police Academy at Plantation Police Department early April 2025.
I was also an away camp counselor at a multi sports camp in Pennsylvania where I coached athletes in gymnastics, cheerleading, power tumbling and little bit of parkour.
I have been working with children since I was 10 years old but professionally since I was 13/14. Growing up as one of five sibling in the military was rough when it came to moving around but I feel sharing my experiences and putting my skill sets to use helps with daily errands and activities. Even now when I go to work coaching gymnastics I used my own experience to help the children grow.
