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.

Relevant experience where I also cared for children includes my current role as a high school teacher and my previous experience as a substitute teacher within Broward County Public Schools. In these roles, I supervise and support students while creating a safe, structured, and positive environment that encourages learning, communication, and personal growth.
I have experience working with children and teens of different personalities and needs, assisting with educational activities, behavior management, social interaction, and emotional support. I also enjoy engaging children through reading, games, puzzles, creative activities, and meaningful conversation while providing patient, attentive, and dependable care.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Activities I enjoy doing with children include reading books, arts and crafts, puzzles, board games, educational activities, outdoor walks, creative play, and movie or library outings. I also enjoy helping with homework, encouraging learning through fun activities, and creating a positive, supportive environment where children feel comfortable, engaged, and cared for.

The most important part about being a nanny...

building meaningful bonds with the children I am caring for.

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.
