Hi! My name is Ashley. I saw your post for babysitters. I'm 26 years old and recently moved back to Chicago from California. Ive grown up and now live back in lake forest. I've been working with children since I was 14, babysitting for families in my neighborhood.

I've worked as a nanny, a swim instructor at Lifetime, and an ABA therapist supporting children and young adults with autism. These roles have taught me how to adapt to a variety of needs and personalities while staying patient, attentive, and nurturing. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and I pride myself on being trustworthy, responsible, reliable, and creative. I truly care about each child's well-being and development, and I aim to support families in any way I can.
