About Ashleigh

New to Care. com, but not new to responsibility or caregiving. I am transitioning into elder care as part of a longer-term path toward nursing because caring for older adults aligns with my skills, values, and life experience. Professionally, I bring over a decade of experience managing people, schedules, and responsibilities, making me highly organized, dependable, and calm under pressure. On a personal level, I have supported my own parents through significant health challenges, including blindness and advanced Parkinson's, which shaped my patience, attentiveness, and understanding of respectful, day-to-day care. I work best with clear expectations, take medical needs and routines seriously, and also believe laughter and connection are an important part of good care. I'm happy to connect by phone or in person to ensure a great fit.
