Hi! I'm Ashley, a 23-year-old grad student in my first year of a master's program in I-O Psych , with a bachelor's degree in psychology and minors in childhood studies and communication studies. I have an older brother with 2 kids, my niece and nephew, who I watch often, so I have a lot of hands on experience with little ones. I love all ages and making sure to keep them engaged. Taking care of people and animals has always come naturally to me. I work full time at a counseling center in Newport News, and before that was a lifeguard for three years and worked at Wolf Lodge, so I'm comfortable being responsible for others' safety and staying calm under any situation. I've had dogs my whole life and now have two Yorkies, Wicket and Gizmo, so I'm completely comfortable with dogs of any size or energy level. I'm available evenings and weekends, and I care about being someone you can trust. I communicate clearly, show up on time, and keep you updated. I'd love to help your family!
Ashley is such a blessing to our family. She comes by every two weeks for date night. Our two year old is very shy with new people but Ashley knew exactly how to approach her in a way that made her comfortable. She is great about finding fun activities to do with our daughter, she keeps us informed, is responsive to texts and requests, and is punctual showing up. It's amazing to be able to get adult time and still know my baby is taken care of. Thanks Ashley!
