Hi! My name is Ashleigh! I am 19 and am a student at University of Portland! I have worked with the ages 5-12 for about 2 years now, I was a Councelor at a theater summer camp with lots of fun activities! I have also had experience with toddlers! I volunteered at my church back home in their day care center! I can always help out with homework! I am COR certified I have experience with big and small dogs, cats, and reptiles. Preferably geckos or lizards!

I am comfortable caring for up to three children, ranging from infants to those around 11 years old. I am patient, calm, friendly, and approachable. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, puzzles, and educational games with children. I am also comfortable enforcing household rules. I am CPR and First Aid certified. As a fluent Spanish speaker, I can also incorporate language learning into our activities. I am comfortable with pets, and I look forward to bringing you confidence of childcare to your family.

I'm a former high school teacher and most recently worked as a nanny for two children. I focus on providing a caring and creative environment for children. Painting, reading and making meals/snacks are some of the activities they seem to like the most. I believe children should be encouraged to explore the world around them and have fun!

I’m a childcare professional with more than 20 years of experience caring for children in a variety of settings, including schools, childcare programs and private homes. I’ve worked with children of different ages and developmental stages and have extensive experience creating safe, nurturing and engaging environments where children can learn, play and be themselves. I’m dependable, patient, attentive and genuinely enjoy getting to know the children in my care. I’m also someone who understands that every child and every family is different. I pride myself on paying attention to routines, personalities and individual needs. My years of experience have also taught me how to remain calm and resourceful when things don't go according to plan. Beyond childcare, I have experience with house and pet sitting and appreciate the trust that comes with being responsible for someone’s home while they are away. I am comfortable caring for pets and making sure that they and the home are cared for as the owner would expect. I’m naturally observant, organized and responsible. I love reading, music, film, tv and finding ways to make ordinary days fun and memorable for children. I also bring a strong sense of humor, good communication skills and the ability to connect with people and animals easily. After more than two decades working with children and families, I don’t take the responsibility lightly. When someone trusts me with their child, pet or home, I treat that trust with the same care and respect that I would want for my own.
