A Babysitter Who Truly Understands Your Little One
Hi, I’m Soujanya, and as a mother myself, I know firsthand the love, care, and patience it takes to nurture a child. I’ve walked in your shoes, feeling the delicate balance of wanting the best for my child while entrusting someone else to care for them. That’s why I bring not just experience, but heartfelt empathy to every family I work with.
Raising my own toddler has taught me the importance of attentiveness and connection. Every giggle, every tear, every milestone—I cherish them all because I know how precious these moments are. I’ve also had the privilege of babysitting infants and toddlers for other families, and I approach every child as if they were my own, with boundless love, patience, and care.
Being fluent in English, Telugu, and Hindi allows me to communicate seamlessly and adapt to your family’s needs, ensuring your little one feels secure and understood in every way.

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."

A little bit about me
With a passion for working with children that began in my teenage years, I have dedicated my career to fostering their growth and development. I hold a degree in Spanish and Education, and spent a transformative year in Spain teaching English to children ages 2-6. I taught at a preschool for over five years, where I honed my skills in creating engaging curriculum tailored to enhance children’s fine motor skills and promote independence. I have potty trained many children while working in the preschool and take an importance on developing independence skills.
My journey in childcare has also included nannying for infants and toddlers, allowing me to apply my love for creating enriching learning environments. This passion led me to pursue a master’s degree in Occupational Therapy at Salem State, where I am currently taking night classes to specialize in pediatric OT. I believe in the power of play-based learning and am committed to helping children thrive while having fun!
