Hi! I’m taking time off from studying behavioral and cognitive neuroscience at UCSD and looking for occasional work. I started volunteering at a daycare that my high school had and fell in love with it. I found kids energy, excitement for life, curiosity, and imagination to be contagious. I am a caring, compassionate, patient person which makes it easy for me to interact with kids. After babysitting for over 5 years and working with different families I have gained experience with kids of all ages. I have CPR training, am fully vaccinated and also had my booster shot.

“Great service, she took good care of both of our kids. Very professional and would highly recommend.”

My name is Ashley, I been a nanny for 20+ years age ranging from newborn to age 18. Nurturing children through various stages of development and managing household responsibilities. I have experience working with 4 children at a time ranging from infant to teenager. Managing both newborns and toddlers simultaneously can be demanding but manageable with some planning. I can involve the toddlers in gentle activities that won't disturb the newborn, such as coloring, building blocks, or playing with soft toys. While the toddlers are occupied, I can attend to the newborn's needs, such as feeding, changing diapers, or putting them down for a nap. It's all about finding a balance between meeting the needs of both age groups while ensuring their safety and well-being. I find joy in understanding children and what brings them happiness. Building those connections and seeing them smile is rewarding. I can transport children to various activities and taking care of light housekeeping and cooking.

“Ashely worked for us for 6 weeks while our nanny was on vacation. She was amazing in all ways. She was quick to connect with both my kids (5 & 2) and brought them to new fun activities. She also was a huge help around the house and did everything from household items to family cooking. She is extremely responsive and organized. We loved having her as part of the family and will continue to have her babysit on date nights. ”
