Hello, hello! I’m Ashley, a dedicated childcare professional serving the Greensboro and Triad area. Since beginning this journey in 2020, I have gained a multitude of experience with children ranging from infancy to adolescence. My specialty is newborn and infant care in which I work closely with first time parents as they navigate welcoming both a new baby and a new caregiver. I possess extensive knowledge of infant milestones and experience in sleep training, bottle feeding, the transition to solid foods, and the development of motor skills. Beyond infant care, I deliver engaging, age-appropriate and authoritative guidance relevant to all toddler, preschool, elementary and early adolescence stages. I bring a strong educational background in child development and applied behavioral analysis, providing appropriate structure and support for children’s growth and security. Additionally, I am well versed in special needs care with paraprofessional experience under pediatric behavioral analyst and pediatric therapy specialists. I am passionate about fostering independence, encouraging outdoor and social play, minimizing screen presence and working as a team with parents to create amazing, curious humans. Building strong relationships with children and families is one of the most rewarding aspects of my work, and I value creating an environment where children can thrive and parents feel confident and supported in my care. If you are looking for a caregiver who truly understands learning through play, behavioral reinforcement, and isn’t too shy to run around at the park, sing along to music, or play with monster trucks and barbie dolls, then look no further! I hope to hear from you, Ashley

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Mahlet, and I can confidently say she is an exceptional sitter. From the moment we met, Mahlet was warm, kind, and extremely professional. She took the time to listen carefully during our initial meeting and followed all the instructions for caring for my 7-year-old son, who is neurodivergent. Her attentiveness, calm presence, and natural ability to connect made a world of difference. What stood out most to me was how genuinely present she was with my son. She met him exactly where he was—emotionally, socially, and developmentally. Her intuition and empathy were evident in the way she engaged with him, showing incredible patience and care without being solely performative. These are qualities that matter deeply when working with children, who can often sense when someone is truly “with” them versus simply managing them. My son—who is not quick to form attachments—was VERY tearful and begged for Mahlet to return. It felt like watching his first real heartbreak. Kids are natural feelers, and his reaction said everything: he felt seen, safe, and valued. I saw it too—Mahlet is simply a good person, and that shines through in her work. If you're looking for someone who brings professionalism, emotional intelligence, and genuine compassion—Mahlet is an absolute rare find. We are so grateful to have connected with her.

Julie was fantastic with our twin boys. She has amazing energy and is truly passionate about child care. She spent majority of the week during the day with the boys playing, feeding and reading too them. She would send us updates regularly of what they were doing and how they were doing. She was great with communicating any issues or concerns. Our time with Julie ended early unfortunately due to commute / travel issues. We highly recommend her as a caregiver.
