About Ashanti

Hi there! I am a very patient, nurturing, and calm child caregiver. When I'm with children, I make sure to truly listen to their needs and let them know they are being heard and understood. I believe kids hold tremendous creativity and curiosity that deserve to flourish, while still growing in an environment of mutual respect. I naturally gravitate toward art-oriented and outdoorsy activities, which I find help children express themselves, build confidence, and have fun. I've been caring for children since I was 18, ranging from occasional babysitting for date nights to being a long-term sitter for a toddler over two years. I've also worked at a youth-focused activity center and, most recently, served as the lead/supervisor of an afterschool program for K-5th grade students. In that role, I guided daily activities, ensured safety, and supported kids in social and emotional development, a role I truly loved before deciding to move.
