Ashley came to our rescue yesterday and was a hit! She had to take over the kids alone during lunch and nap time and handled it like a pro. We found her to be very mature and easy to deal with and clearly has a knack for dealing with children. The kids took to her right away and are already asking for her back."

Pre-Primary teacher searching for Part-Time support work outside of school hours
| Growing up with a sibling with both intellectual and physical disabilities, I not only gained a lot of knowledge and experience in a natural way, however, grew an interest in supporting others with additional needs. This led me to doing light work with individuals with disabilities as well as becoming an E.C.E where I made it my mission to create inclusive environments for all and to support the children in my care in every possible way I can. This being said, my experience is mainly at-home with my brother who has Dravets Syndrome and in school environments alongside children who are in need of additional supports.
