Meet Ashley
- Speech Therapist
- Speaks English
- Comfortable with pets
- Has a car
I have a Bachelor's degree from the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Audiology and Speech Pathology. My past work experience includes creating and implementing lesson plans for children with special needs, so I have fun yet educational activities aplenty! I love animals and have five myself, so I'm comfortable caring for those as well! I currently work as a full time as the owner of three different businesses, so my availability goes fast. Bonus: I’m a professional balloon twister and character performer, so I’m available for birthday parties and I have facilitated daycares/kids areas at weddings, family reunions, and spell events!

Ashley was warm and caring and my elementary school-aged son had a wonderful time with her when she babysat for a few days when he was home from school. She kept him busy with lots of activities and games. She recommended age-appropriate books and encouraged his interest in reading and science. She is great with kids: highly recommended!

Was traveling with my family for the weekend and secured Ashley to watch my 8 month old for my one night stay in Knoxville. She was incredibly trustworthy and sent me photos all night of my little one. While I was nervous to leave my infant alone with a new sitter, Ashley immediately put me at ease! Highly recommend!
