About Samantha

Hi parents! My name is Samantha and I'm originally from California. I've lived here in Virginia for about five years now and I'm still enjoying getting to know the area! I have a degree in Early Childhood Development and I am currently working on my Masters in Social Work. I absolutely love working with kids and have been doing so for the past 15+ years! I have experience working with kids from the ages of 2days old all the way up to 18+ years old. I'm great with Infants and toddlers so much so that my former employer titled me the "baby whisperer". I also have extensive experience working with kids with behavioral issues, kids on the spectrum, kids with special needs and who have experienced trauma. I'm very hands on and love to do different activities when caring for children whether it's going on a fun outing to the park, getting messy with some fun arts and crafts projects, cooking a fun new recipe, reading and playing games, completing school work and learning new things, and ever
