Ashley W.

I do not usually write reviews, but I had to let anyone who is looking for a child care provider know exactly how wonderful Ashley is! Ashley currently cares for my 7 month old daughter. Shes started taking care of her when she was just 2 months old. Since then Ashley has more than proven herself to be a patient, reliable, flexible and extremely caring person. The huge smile on my daughter's face when I drop off her off speaks volumes to how wonderful she it!!! I feel that Ashley takes care of my daughter the exact way that I would. She is attentive to changes in her mood or habits. She makes sure that she has plenty of learning opportunities and engages her in many new activities. She even does art and crafts with my little one and I have tons of pictures and mementos that bring a smile to my face courtesy of Ashley! Ashley always goes above and beyond of what I expect of any caregiver. She steams and purees food for my baby to eat so she doesn't have to always eat jar food! If she notices my child likes a particular snack or food she'll make sure she has that available in case I forget one day. Ashley even fills a separate pool with warm water because my daughter doesn't like the cold water that the other children do! All these little details, to me, show how much she cares for my child! Ashley will provide detailed written reports of your child's day which was so nice for me because even when I wasn't there it would feel like I didn't miss a thing! And just to address the comment regarding her home, I have never seen Ashley's home in a condition where I felt like I didn't want my daughter to be there! There are lots of toys and things for the children to play with around, but it has never been dirty. She does have pets but they are always clean and you would never know she has pets unless you see them because they are always well behaved and interact well with the kids. Ashley steam cleans her floor so my daughter can practice her crawling! What more could you ask for! I plan on having Ashley as my child care provider for a very long time! I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a child care provider!

Ashley and her husband are great with our 2 year old. She loves going to Ashley's and frequently doesn't want to leave when it's time to go home. Ashley takes the kids to the zoo, COSI, story time and many other activities. We've had several other caregivers but Ashley is the first one that has felt right and that our daughter has connected with. Ashley is very flexible with our weird work schedules which helps us out more than anyone else has been able to.

I want to say that Ashley is a wonderful mother and caregiver!!! She took care of my three kids for about a year and I absolutely love her!!! She does so much with the kids to make their day a fun learning experience! She goes above and beyond and puts her heart and soul into what she does! When we moved away I wanted to take her with me! I hated giving up such an awesome caregiver!! She is understanding, laid back, easygoing, fun loving, and knows how to discipline! I couldn't have asked for a better caregiver and yes, she does have a smaller house and 3 dogs (that are very good with kids) but it's not unsanitary whatsoever! Just thought I would throw that in there!!! We still love and miss you ASHLEY!!!

Ashley has been caring for my kids since February 2010. After interviewing 7 different people, each interview lasting an hour or so, and seeing absolutely NO positive interaction with my kids during that time we interviewed Ashley. Within 15 minutes my husband and I could both see we had found the right place. Ashley is fantastic, my kids LOVE going to her house. As a mother of two, one of which is hearing impaired, it is imperative to me to find someone so committed to my children. To their learning, growing, and happiness, and overall well-being. We could not have made a better choice. They are our extended family now. My kids have never been easy to leave, always fighting being left, they are at total ease in her home. They have daily projects or experiences that must be immediately told to me as soon as I arrive. Occasionally fight me on leaving her house to come home, this says something in itself. As for the posting above that commented on the cleanliness of her home. I literally see Ashley's home daily, she cleans DAILY!!! To me the fact that she doesn't care when the kids or dogs make a mess is refreshing, my children are allowed to be kids in her home. With growing and learning messes do occur!!! That"s the fun of it all. Anyways, would definitely recommend to anyone. Thumbs up, five stars, grade A at all that other fun stuff :).

My husband and I interviewed Ashley for the position of childcare provider. We found her and her husband to be very easygoing and flexible. Although our family chose to use the services of a provider who was able to come to our home, we strongly considered hiring Ashley for the position. Out of all of the providers we interviewed (and we interviewed like 10 providers), we could see her love for children the most. She interacted with our daughter more then any of the other providers we interviewed. She and her husband just seemed to be a normal, easygoing couple who you could truly trust to care for your children. After interviewing Ashley and meeting her husband and son, I would recommend her services to any family.
