Hi parents!
I’m Ashton, the oldest of seven, so caregiving has always come naturally to me. Growing up, I was the built-in “little parent,” and that early experience sparked my passion for working with children.
I’m currently completing my undergraduate degree in Human Development and Learning and preparing to begin my path toward becoming an Occupational Therapist. I also work as a paraprofessional at Easterseals, where I support children with ASD, IDD, and a wide range of developmental needs. This role has strengthened my patience, creativity, and ability to adapt to each child’s unique communication and learning style.
Outside of school and work, I’ve spent years providing babysitting and dog-sitting for families, neighbors, and of course my own siblings. Whether it’s helping with routines, engaging in sensory-friendly play, or simply creating a safe and fun environment, I truly enjoy being part of a child’s day.
I love games, dance parties, karaoke, arts & crafts, and tackling big puzzles, anything that helps kids explore, grow, and have fun. Parents tell me I bring calm energy, responsibility, and genuine connection to the kids I care for.
I’d love to support your family in whatever way you need; whether it’s childcare, homework help, structured play, or a reliable extra set of hands. Looking forward to meeting you!
