My name is Ashley Boatwright, and I am a 25 year-old childcare professional originally from Atlanta, Georgia. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration with a focus in Management from Georgia Southern University in 2023 before relocating to Florida. I have over 11 years of experience in babysitting, nannying, and working in quality-rated daycare centers, caring for children from infancy through age 11, including children on the spectrum. I am currently a nanny for three girls ages 3–9, a position I’ve held since the youngest was just one week old, as well as a nanny for a 9-month-old little boy whom I’ve cared for since he was 3 months old. My responsibilities include infant care, school drop-offs and pickups, managing extracurricular activities, meal preparation, household organization, learning support, and maintaining structured daily routines. My passion for childcare began in middle school through babysitting for family and friends. In high school, I enrolled in an early childhood education program and worked in a daycare setting, assisting lead teachers across all age groups from infants as young as 3 months to Pre-K. During college, I worked as a co-lead teacher in a quality-rated daycare center for a classroom of 1-2 year-olds while also nannying for a family with two school-aged children. I am dependable, patient, nurturing, and genuinely passionate about helping children learn, grow, and feel supported. I love building long-term relationships with families and creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment where children can thrive. As one of the families I currently work with is relocating, I am now looking to fill a part-time nanny position where I can continue supporting children and families in a meaningful and reliable way.

Ashley has been an incredible part of our family for the past year, caring for our son since he was a newborn. We are relocating out of state and are heartbroken to be saying goodbye. She is calm, nurturing, dependable, and exceptionally experienced with infants and toddlers. Her ability to comfort our son, establish routines, and consistently get him down for naps was invaluable. Ashley filled our son’s days with meaningful experiences—long walks, trips to libraries, museums, art galleries, and Selby Botanical Gardens. She helped foster his love of books, nature, and the arts, often reading 10–20 books with him in a single day. She also fully embraced our screen-free approach, always finding creative ways to keep him engaged. Our son absolutely adores Ashley, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her.

Susan was incredible from start to finish! She showed up to our event and connected/engaged with all children in the house. Immediately, one of the children commented “Miss Susan is so nice”. The children and I felt very comfortable with Susan and will certainly reach out for another booking if we are in the area!!

Arianna helped me out on short notice and was able to watch my daughter for four hours while I had to go to an appointment. I found Arianna to responsive, responsible and a genuinely nice and happy person. My 8 year old enjoyed her time with Arianna (and she’s rather picky about her sitters). I’d use Arianna again and would highly recommend if you’re looking for a great sitter.

I am an experienced caregiver and proud mother of four, with a passion for nurturing children. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of raising my own children while homeschooling them, which has given me a deep understanding of individual learning styles, patience, and the importance of creating a supportive environment. My experience extends beyond just childcare; I bring a well-rounded approach that includes engaging activities, teaching moments, and a safe, nurturing atmosphere. In addition to my hands-on experience, I also have a reliable, safe vehicle, ensuring I can transport your children with the utmost care and security. Whether it's babysitting, helping with homework, or providing transportation, I am dedicated to making sure your child is cared for with love and attention.

Christina (Leaf) took on full nanny responsibilities for our 16 month twins for two weeks due to a gap in care before they started school. We wish would have found her earlier because the twins took to her so quickly. She was on time, patient, caring and in two short weeks taught the twins to be more independent and responsive. We strongly recommend her if you are looking for full time care.

To explain a little about myself, I currently volunteer for my church nursery. I’ve worked in property management for many years and ready for something fun and sweet to work with. Soon my husband and I will have a 20 year old, so I miss the little cute ages and stages. It would give me great joy to help another Mother go to work knowing her child is in good hands.

Carla is just the bee's knees. She has taken care of both my daughters and they both adore her. The younger one is now 9 months and she’s been with Carla 1-3 times a week since almost birth. Carla has also taken care of the older one (2.5 years) frequently, and sometimes both of them at the same time, including overnights. Carla really goes above and beyond—she has fantastic toys at her house, she gets the kids all kinds of fun things, she takes them to the park and gives them baths and feeds them all-organic food. You could not find anyone better. We'd keep her all to ourselves except we're leaving town.
