Hi families! I'm Ashley—a former preschool teacher with nearly 10 years of experience working with young children. I recently moved to Bend from Santa Barbara and have quickly fallen in love with this incredible community. I specialize in creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment for kids to learn, grow, and explore. My background in early childhood education means I bring creativity, patience, and structure to every babysitting job. Whether it’s a one-time evening out or consistent care, I’m here to support your family with warmth and reliability. Bonus: I’m also experienced with pet care (dogs, cats, chickens!) and am comfortable administering pet medications if needed. If you're looking for a caring, dependable sitter who genuinely loves working with children, I’d love to hear from you!
