A little bit about me
Hi! I’m Ashley — a career nanny with 10+ years of experience caring for children from newborns through school age. My background includes long-term nanny roles, school-based experience, and work as a birth/postpartum doula, so I’m confident supporting both infants and growing families through every stage.
My approach is calm, reliable, and rooted in Montessori-inspired, child-led learning. I love creating structured, engaging days with outings, sensory play, and lots of opportunities for independence and growth.
I’m CPR/First Aid certified, have a clean driving record, and bring a steady, positive presence into every home I work in.
I’m currently based in Massachusetts and open to relocating for the right long-term fit. I’d love to connect!

"If you have the chance to hire Ashley—take it immediately. She was with our family for 3.5 years and became so much more than a nanny. She was a constant, trusted, and deeply loved presence in our children’s lives. Our kids absolutely adore her and still ask for her, which says everything—we continue to use her for date nights because no one compares.
Ashley has that rare mix of warmth, intuition, and professionalism. She is reliable, calm, communicative, and incredibly capable. She doesn’t just supervise children—she connects with them, engages them, and truly understands them. Our kids felt safe, happy, and genuinely cared for every day.
She made our lives easier in every way and brought so much joy into our home. Finding someone like Ashley is incredibly rare—whoever hires her next will be unbelievably lucky."

"My kids love Sofi! Sofi is the kindest and sweetest. She helped with my kids while I had to work. I was nervous at first finding someone to trust with my kids but soon realized I had nothing to worry about with Sofi. She stared with our family when my kids were 4, 6 and 9. She formed relationships with each of my kids and took such good care for them. I highly recommend Sofi!!"

A little bit about me
I’m an experienced nanny and the oldest of four, with more than a decade of hands‑on childcare under my belt. I’ve cared for children of all ages, from infants to preteens, and even managed a household for three months while the parent was abroad. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, passionate about helping kids learn and grow, and excited to support a family that values kindness, creativity, and consistency. I love creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for every child I work with.
I’m also very comfortable around animals — my family has chickens, rabbits, dogs, and cats — so pets are never a problem and always a bonus.

Hi! My name is Idinma, and I’m a caring, reliable, and experienced childcare provider with hands-on experience caring for infants and toddlers. I have cared for babies under 6 months old, including my own son and several children under the age of 2, handling daily routines such as feeding, diapering, nap schedules, and age-appropriate play.
I also have nanny experience with toddlers, where I supported their daily activities, prepared meals, supervised playtime, and helped create a safe, nurturing environment. I’m patient, attentive, and truly enjoy helping children learn, grow, and feel secure. I treat every child with the same care and attention I would want for my own.
I would love the opportunity to support your family and be a trusted part of your child’s daily life 🤍
