Hi Families!

I’m an educator who currently works at a PreK–12 school and have experience working with children and teens of different ages and personalities. I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and love making sure kids are safe while still having fun! Depending on what your kiddos enjoy, I’m always down for arts and crafts, baking, board games, movie nights, trips to the park, library outings, or coming up with a fun activity at home. I’m also happy to help with homework, meals, bedtime routines, and transportation. I have my own reliable car and am comfortable with school pickups/drop-offs and getting kids to activities. I’m also happy to help around the house with laundry, dishes, tidying up, and light cleaning. I’m flexible and happy to work with whatever routines make things easiest for your family.

“We think Ashley is fantastic! She’s so sweet and the babies love her. Definitely hire her!”

Booked by 3 families in Oxon Hill, MD

I have been caring for children for over 8 years now! I moved to DC from Texas where I babysat, led a middle school girls youth group and volunteered in the children’s ministry of a local nonprofit. I enjoy working with kids because their curiosity and energy keeps me on my toes and reminds me to look for the wonder in life! I value building relationships with every child I babysit and learning about their interests. I will read books, bake, facilitate outdoor games or step back and supervise if your kiddos prefer independent play! I am also happy to take on dishes, laundry, and other house work. I have worked with children ranging from newborns through middle school, and am comfortable with any age. I can also handle multiple at a time; a favorite group of friends I babysat for had 4 kids under 6 with an 8-month old — we had so much fun together! Fun facts: My favorite books from my childhood were Little House on the Prairie and Series of Unfortunate Events, and my favorite board game was Monopoly. Some nitty-gritty: I am vaccinated for COVID & other routine illnesses and I have been background checked through Urban Sitter. I love pets but do not to work in homes with pit bulls.

“Drew was so wonderful with our 5 year old son. She was immediately warm and great with him and came up with creative play ideas and ensured a smooth bedtime. We hope to work with Drew again! ”
