Hello! My name is Ashley, I live in Hoffman Estates, I'm 24 years old and I am pursuing a dance career in the Chicagoland area. I am currently in my second season with a contemporary dance company based in Chicago. I currently nanny two different families and I'm a barista at Starbucks. I have been nannying two little girls in my neighborhood (ages 3 and 6) twice a week for the past two years and two little girls in Elgin (ages 1 and 4). I graduated in 2018 from Western Michigan University with a degree in dance and public relations. I'm moving downtown Chicago in September and would love to find a family in the city. On top of the families I currently nanny, my senior year of high school I nannied two children after school ages 4 and 7. I worked as a Kids Camp counselor through the Palatine Park District for two summers in college for children ages 4-6 and I taught dance to children ages 9-12 last year. If I sound like the right fit for your family, I would love to hear from you!

Unfortunately, this was not a great experience with Ashley. It started off well as she applied for a sitting opportunity and communicated quickly and professionally in a short amount of time leading up to meeting our son. One of the last messages was to touch base with me the day before to re confirming our meeting. Needless to say, she did not touch base leading me to message her the day of to reconfirm in the morning. Several hours passed and I did not hear anything until 19 minutes before our meeting to say she accepted another job. If this is an indication on how she operates/communicates, I'd be cautious.
