Hi! My name is Ashley, and I bring over 20 years of hands-on parenting experience as a mom. Caring for children has always been a natural and meaningful part of my life. I currently homeschool my 12-year-old, which allows me to stay actively involved in teaching, guiding, and supporting learning every day. Through homeschooling, I have developed patience, strong communication skills, and the ability to create structured routines that help children thrive. I love working with kids of all ages and enjoy creating a calm, positive, and supportive environment where they feel safe, respected, and encouraged. Whether it's helping with homework, engaging in creative activities, keeping routines on track, or simply providing dependable care, I am attentive, responsible, and nurturing. I genuinely enjoy helping children learn, grow, and build confidence. My goal is always to provide families with reliable care and peace of mind, knowing their children are in a Read more safe and caring environment.

Ashley was AMAZING with my 12 year old son and 2 younger girls. She took such great care of all of them and kept them busy with educational activities throughout the day. She texted me frequently with updates throughout the day and always arrived earlier than the requested time which was an added bonus! I definitely recommend her if you are looking for a sitter that shows immense care for children.

Ashley is patient, kind and a tentative babysitter. She provides frequent updates as I always enjoyed this. She noticed quickly what my son enjoyed which made leaving easier because I knew he was having fun. She communicates well and always respected my way of doing things. She was also available every time I needed her despite changes she needed to make in her schedule to be available. She also was flexible and kind with changes on my end. She is the only sitter I have ever fully felt comfortable with. She has been a blessing to my family and I. She is also a very organized person and willing to help with anything she can. She is also very reliable and responsive.
