My Summary
About Me
Hello! I'm Ashlyn — a qualified primary school teacher with over a decade of experience working with children from newborns to teens. My passion has always been about nurturing confidence, creativity, and kindness in little ones, whether that's through structured learning, imaginative play, or simply bringing a bit of everyday magic to the ordinary.
Alongside my teaching career, I've spent years involved in musical theatre, which means I'm never short of a silly voice, a song, or a game to bring smiles and spark joy. I believe in creating a warm, positive, and safe environment where children feel celebrated for exactly who they are.
Most recently, I’ve been offered a role with Disney Cruise Line as an Entertainment Host — a dream job that reflects my energy, creativity, and love of making childhoods unforgettable. Until I set sail, I’m offering my services as a nanny and babysitter to support families with care you can trust, and a little sprinkle of Disney magic along the way.
If you're looking for someone who values kindness, fun, and fostering imagination as much as safety and responsibility, I'd love to hear from you.
My Experience
I am a fully qualified primary school teacher with extensive experience working with children aged 0-12, both in the UK and internationally. My professional background spans over a decade and includes classroom teaching, nannying, au pair roles, and leading extracurricular activities such as school choirs, yoga clubs, and musical theatre productions.
Beyond the classroom, I’ve worked as a holiday camp entertainer and private nanny in the French Alps, providing engaging, activity-filled care rooted in imaginative play and creative learning. I’ve also taught dance and theatre to children and teenagers, and have produced, directed, and choreographed school performances — something that’s helped me bring energy, fun, and confidence-building opportunities to every childcare role I’ve held.
I am now preparing to join Disney Cruise Line as an Entertainment Host, bringing joy and magic to children from around the world. Until then, I am looking to share my skills and love of working with children to support families through nannying and babysitting, blending my professional expertise with warmth, creativity, and care.
