Ashlee’s background in a Dauphin County After School Program would makes her an ideal nanny for older children!

“Some of my fondest memories throughout my life have been while caring for children in a Dauphin County After School Program! I derive so much joy from witnessing their curiosity of the world and their innocent outlook on life! I am amazed at their constant inquisitiveness and their ability to absorb new information. I cannot describe the warmth and love I feel when caring for children! I enjoy staying healthy and enjoy all outdoor activities and am open to new adventures and experiences. I took piano lessons for ten years and look forward to having time to teach this to children. Through my experiences and positive upbringing, I feel like I have developed into a confident, hard-working and nurturing young woman. I know that the position of a nanny is ideal for me because children are my passion and I know that I will foster a loving and insightful childcare experience for all of the children and families that I have the privilege to work for and whose lives I will touch. I have been serving in some form of childcare experience for over five years and can honestly say I love what I do! I feel the children are little sponges who are constantly soaking up the world around them. I love to see them exploring the world and their environment every day and watching their faces light up when they discover something new! My goal as a Nanny through this Highspire Nanny Agency is to foster a loving, nurturing and educational environment for the children that I care for. I would love to pass my knowledge about the world onto them and be a wonderful caretaker. I am willing to do housekeeping that includes laundry, cooking, and cleaning. If I had to describe myself in five adjectives I would say that I am passionate, punctual, caring, empathetic, and responsible. Activities that I would like to incorporate in the daily plan for the family I care for would include music (piano and dancing), soccer, and tennis, art, outside play, pretend play, and cooking /nutrition. If asked to describe the perfect family seeking a Nanny like me I would hope they would be I would hope that they would be kind individuals who want what is best for their children!”

“It is with great pleasure that I recommend Ashlee as a Nanny, as she has an impressive background in a Dauphin County After School Program! Ashlee is continually working with children, and asks my husband and I if she can care for our children during her free time. Ashlee's warm disposition and enthusiastic energy, as well as her calm demeanor and strong sense of responsibility, make her a wonderful guardian for children! I have known Ashlee since she was a student in my 300-level French for the Professions course. She stood out for me in that course, and in subsequent courses that she took with me throughout her college career. She is a hardworking, goal-oriented young woman with strong academic integrity and high standards! Ashlee was one of the few students who came to see me during my office hours in all the courses that she took with me, extremely motivated to perfect her French language skills and get the most out of her time at college by consulting with professors. Ashlee does not sit idly and accept challenges as defeats but rather considers any challenge or hardship a motivation to succeed and overcome that obstacle. For a childcare provider, this is particularly important in that has the ability to adapt and change tactics when an obstacle comes her way; she is not defeated but rather looks for other options to succeed. It was when Ashlee began caring for our first baby that I truly got to know her outside class. When my daughter was born, Ashlee was the first person we trusted to care for her at the age of three months old. We chose Ashlee because she told us that she had taken care of newborn triplets when they came home from the hospital. In fact, we were quite pleased to discover that Ashlee seemed more at ease with taking care of young babies than we were, often providing us tips and techniques that she had acquired during her extensive experience with babies and young children! Since that time, Ashlee has been our steady childcare provider, even taking our daughter home with her on a few weekends to take care of her with the help of her parents. I have found Ashlee to be very calm and responsible, trusting her natural instincts to react to difficult or challenging situations. We had another baby, and again we first trusted Ashlee to care for our two young children at the same time. I have never found a young woman who seems more naturally at ease with babies and young children than Ashlee! Ashlee's greatest joy is to spend her free time with children, so naturally a position as a nanny will be a wonderful profession for her to pursue! Beyond childcare experience, Ashlee has a wealth of knowledge to share with the child she will take care of, including her skills as a fluent speaker of French and her experience living abroad during her junior year of college. This study abroad semester has made Ashlee much more mature and open-minded, as well as made her adaptable to new situations and cultures. She is very good with languages and would be able to pick up another language. Ashlee is a very warm and loving person, highly skilled and trained in both academic and childcare experiences. She is certainly the most talented and natural childcare provider we have found for our children, and I would sincerely hope that any family she works with respects and honors Ashlee's intellect and capabilities! I am so pleased to recommend her without any reservation!”

“I have known Ashlee for seventeen years, and have had the pleasure of watching her grow to become a wonderful, highly principled young woman! Mature, responsible, intelligent, sensitive, and caring are just a few of the words I would choose to describe Ashlee. One of her most admirable traits is very genuine love for children! This is easily observed in the manner in which she interacts and relates with young ones. Ashlee was young when my youngest child was born. Even at a young age, Ashlee had the innate ability of knowing just what to do to comfort little ones! There was nothing that she loved more than coming to visit and do whatever she could to help me care for Mallory. When Ashlee was a bit older, she became Mallory’s primary childcare provider. Because of Ashlee’s self-confidence and maturity, and background in a Dauphin County After School Program, I always felt comfortable leaving Mallory in her care. Now that my daughter is a teenager, I am very thankful to have Ashlee as a part of her life and as a positive role model! I know that Ashlee will be an asset to any family’s household, and I am delighted to give her my whole-hearted, unconditional endorsement!”

“Ashlee was the primary care provider for my three children for many years, and her caretaking skills are unmatched! Ashlee has a unique ability to balance having fun with reasonable limits. She often planned fun activities and crafts which the children enjoyed tremendously! In addition to having fun, Ashlee resolved conflicts between the children and even encouraged them to use similar problem solving skills themselves. Ashlee has many great skills I feel being part of a Dauphin County After School Program has helped her obtain. Ashlee became a true member of our family since we met her at a Highspire Nanny Agency! The children knew that could count on her, as did I. She is a warm and kind person that is always smiling! My children valued their time with Ashlee. As a college professor, I am around young adults all the time. This experience makes me realize what a mature, thoughtful, and responsible young adult Ashlee is, relative to her peers. Any family would be very lucky to have Ashlee care for their children!”

“Ashlee is a mature, responsible, capable and delightful young woman! It is of no surprise to me that Ashlee wishes to pursue a career in childcare with her experience in a Dauphin County After School Program. Ashlee is, without a doubt, the most nurturing young adult I have ever known. She always has been naturally oriented toward teaching and care giving. Coupled with her outstanding formal education and training, I truly cannot imagine any person more qualified to care for children of any age! Ashlee has worked for me as a childcare provider for our three boys. In addition, my children attended the neighborhood day camp program she designed and ran each summer. She provided high quality care and education for my children, any time they were in her presence! Ashlee has a rare gift as well as a great desire to work in this field and it shows in the care she provides. In Ashlee's care, without exception, my children were never happier or more engaged. I also never had any doubt that they were safe. Ashlee shows outstanding moral and ethical character. She stands out as having a crystal clear sense of right and wrong. In a world filled with temptations and bad influences, Ashlee has always taken the right path and shows integrity and maturity far beyond her years. She has strong morals, high standards, and is an excellent role model. Even more amazing is that Ashlee is also a positive, energetic and responsible person. She is highly intelligent, a great communicator, and in general, a delight to be around! Ashlee presents herself as appropriately confident, yet is approachable, friendly and always understanding. She receives my highest recommendation as a top-notch caregiver. I realize that it may sound too good to be true, but I can honestly say that I can think of no one I would trust more with my own children! Whoever gets her will not even know how lucky they. She really is truly remarkable!”
