Child Care Provider and Nanny - ASHLEY N. (User #1165208)

My name is Ashley Nemiro and I am currently a master’s student at Capella University in Marriage and Family Counseling. I have worked with children for 10 plus years in a variety of different settings. Last year I was the director of a before and after school program in cherry creek. I left that job so I could go to Africa for a month and volunteer and also so I could have time to study and focus on school. Since I am in a full-time masters program I can only dedicate 20-25 hours a week. I have worked with kids in every setting from a treatment center to teaching children English in Ghana, Africa. I am intelligent, fun and creative! I am also a hard worker that loves working with children and being a role model for them!
