Ashley Clayton
Battle Creek
Summary
I am Ashley Clayton, I am 19, and I am currently in college studying to become an architect. I have been babysitting since I was about 8 years old as I am from a very large family. I worked in the special ed program at my school so I have worked with kids who have an array of needs (including a student who was wheelchair bound an almost completely immobile). I try to keep kids away from electronics unless that is apart of their daily routine, and trying to engage in activities. I will help with any homework, meal prep, cleaning, changing dipers, clothing, baths, ect. I am good with pets of all kinds, as long as it is not spiders.
