Hi! My name is Ashley Waaler! I moved to Bend from Santa Barbara CA, just a year ago. I miss spending my weekends at the beach but the Deschutes River has quickly become a cherished part of my life in Bend. I live in Bend with my boyfriend and our new puppy Moose! We have loved exploring and finding community here in Bend. I am currently searching for a nanny position beginning in July. I bring close to a decade of experience working as a preschool teacher. I am passionate about early childhood development and love helping little ones learn and grow through play and exploration. My favorite thing to do with kids is art. I love getting to watch their creative wheels turn! in my free time, I love participating in anything outdoors and creating art myself! The time I have spent working with families as a nanny has reinforced my passion for building strong bonds with families. I am particularly drawn to the opportunity to witness a child's growth and development firsthand. I have cherished my time in the classroom but feel my heart is working closely with a family to provide the best care possible. If you are looking for a reliable, caring, and experienced nanny for your family I would love to hear from you!
