Experience: 10 yrs
Childcare provider with 15+ years of experience, specializing in caring for infants and young children from newborn through age 5. I hold an Associate's degree focused in Child Development and Trauma-Informed Care, as well as 4+ years of other education in Early Childhood and Youth Mentoring, which guides my approach to supporting children's emotional growth, independence, and early learning. I am CPR and First Aid certified, trained in G-tube care, and a certified foster parent. My experience as a foster mom has given me a deep understanding of how to provide patient, nurturing, and responsive care for children with a wide range of needs. I love creating a calm, engaging environment where young children can explore, create, play, and build confidence in themselves.
Sam was SO GREAT with our now almost 3 year old daughter who is neurodivergent. She started watching when she was 1 and helped us through a few busy wedding seasons, as wedding photographers we only needed her a few times a month. But honestly I wish we needed her more! When she first met it went better than I imagined it would- didn’t cry and even went to Sam during that first meeting. liked her which was a HUGE deal back then because didn’t like anyone :) Sam is kind, patient and exactly the type of person I would want caring for my kids. She has a ton of experience and is very knowledgeable when it comes to neurodivergent children and children in general. Thank you Sam for everything you’ve done for our family. We love you!
