About Ashley

My name is Ariel, (previously Ashley) and I am a mom of 2 boys ages 9 and 17. My youngest is homeschooled. We have a supportive village, which allows me time to work with other children as the schedule allows. I have worked with children in some capacity for 15+ years. Children fill my soul and remind me to be joyful and present. I have a great deal of understanding and compassion for special needs and believe in regulation before expectation. My goal is to be a safe space for chuldren, allowing them to be authentic, encouraging creativity, and supporting a love for learning. The right fit is especially important for me. Before committing, I always like to meet families and be sure that it feels right for everyone! Money is not my motivator here, although I do value my time and energy. If you feel like I might be a good fit for your family, please reach out, I'm flexible!
