I have been babysitting for seven years now and I love being around kids! Some activities I like to do are reading, arts and crafts, going outside, puzzles and board games! My longest client was 2-2.5 years and she would be a great reference, I also have a reference from Bellingham and that would be helpful as well. My most recent job was a camp supervisor at PedalHeads and I supervised anywhere from 10-60 kids at once, for eight hours a day!

Hello! I am Ashley Ask!

Hello! Thanks so much for taking the time to look at my profile! I am born and raised in Bellingham WA but my family loves to travel so I'm always excited to see more of the world around me! I recently finished my STARS certification and required training hours so I am now certified to work in early learning!!! I have a deep love for babysitting and looking after children and hope to pursue this as a career at some point. At 16 I started my training as a Birth Doula with Childbirth International and upon graduation from high school I hope to attend a 3 year missionary program/midwifery training in the Philippines serving those with limited access to maternal care. I am currently headed into my senior year at Bellingham High School at age 17, I enjoy sports such as basketball and tennis, spending time with my family, singing in choir, and devoting time to my ministries. Thanks for reading and I look forward to meeting you soon!

Top 10 Tips For Hiring A Dog Walker

Follow these handy tips for hiring a dog walker so you know your pup is in safe, reliable hands.

1. Check experience

Look for walkers who have worked with dogs of similar size, breed, and temperament.

2. Verify credentials

Ask about pet first aid/CPR certification and whether they’re insured and bonded.

3. Request references

Speak to past or current clients for honest feedback.

4. Meet in person

Arrange a meet-and-greet to see how your dog responds to them.

5. Discuss routines

Ensure they can stick to your dog’s feeding, walking, and medication schedule.

6. Ask about group walks

Clarify whether they walk multiple dogs at once or provide solo walks.

7. Check reliability

Confirm their backup plan in case they’re sick or unavailable.

8. Look for communication

Choose someone who provides updates, photos, or reports after walks.

9. Test with a trial walk

Start with a short session to assess how your dog and the walker get along.

10. Clarify policies

Go over payment, cancellations, keys/access to your home, and emergency procedures.
