About Ashley

I began babysitting when my little cousins were born around 13 years ago- always have had a love for kids! More recently, I was a camp counselor for the Girl Scouts at Jockey Hollow Day Camp (ages 6-13/14). Since then, I have become a full time assistant preschool teacher at Kiddie Academy of West Caldwell mainly teaching children ages 2-4, but have also taught ages 6weeks-5/6 years. I am now just looking for something a little closer and a little more flexible. As a hobby, I've been volunteering my time at my local fire department (Rockaway Township Co. 5) and now retired EMS Squad for a little under two years now. Due to witnessing multitudes of various fire and medical related emergencies, I've learned to develop critical decision making skills and a thorough sense of calmness when emergencies do arise. From volunteering I earned different training certifications such as Firefighter 1, HAZMAT Awareness and Operations, and CPR and First Aid, and working to earn many more.
