My Summary
About Me
Hello, I’m Ashleigh!
I’ve been caring for children both personally and professionally for the past 7 years. My journey began by looking after my younger siblings and neighbours’ children, which sparked my passion for working with young people. I later completed my Level 2 Childcare qualification in college and have since gained hands-on experience in nurseries, schools, and through babysitting in the Epsom and Ewell area.
I’ve worked with children ranging from newborns to 11 years old, and I love creating enriching, age-appropriate experiences. On sunny days, I enjoy taking children outdoors to explore the local park, feed the ducks, go cycling, or discover “treasures” in nature together. When the weather keeps us indoors, I turn to creative play—whether it’s designing paper airplanes, painting by numbers, or coming up with fun, educational games that support development.
Outside of childcare, I enjoy gardening, writing, reading, roller skating, baking, and cooking. I believe in nurturing a child’s imagination, encouraging kindness, and creating a safe, joyful environment where children can grow and thrive.
My Experience
I completed my Level 2 Childcare qualification at Nescot College in June 2019, during which I gained hands-on experience working with 2–3-year-olds at Bright Horizons, Epsom. I’ve also worked at Shapes Day Nursery, Danetree Junior School, Southfield Park Primary School, and Apples and Cherries Nursery developing my practical knowledge and confidence in early years care.
I have experience working with children from newborn up to 11 years old across a range of settings, including nurseries, schools, and private homes. My background also includes tutoring children aged 7–9 in English, particularly those with learning difficulties such as dyslexia. Additionally, I have supported children who experience anxiety, always aiming to provide a calm, reassuring presence.
I’m a regular babysitter for a family with one child, and in the past, I’ve provided care for multiple families, including one with five children aged between 3 and 8. I’m comfortable managing various routines, needs, and personalities, and I enjoy creating a fun, nurturing environment where children feel safe and supported.

One of the best babysitters we had. Very energetic and enthusiastic about play and still manage to ensure homework is done and dinner is eaten. Cannot recommend high enough.
