About Samantha

Experience: 5 yrs

Hi! My name is Samantha, and I'm a compassionate and experienced caregiver with a strong background working with children of all abilities, including those with special needs. I bring a calm, patient, and understanding approach to every child I work with, creating a safe and supportive environment where they can thrive. I love making activities fun and engaging through creative play, outdoor time, and sensory-friendly experiences tailored to each child. I am currently employed at Laguna Beach School District. Outside of caregiving I love traveling with my fiance, the beach, reading books, my two cats, & anything Disney or Harry Potter related! Families describe me as warm, trustworthy, and easy to communicate with. I value building strong relationships with both parents and children. My goal is to support each child's development while making sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for!

We live in Newport and upon first meeting Samantha, I immediately felt a sense of calmness and trust. She was very clean and put together, always punctual, and had this warm energy to her, she carried herself with the utmost professionalism. Samantha always had a calm demeanor when addressing any of my children. Not once had I ever heard her raise her voice nor seen her lash out at them. She was firm but fair and expectations were always clear. My daughter struggled hearing “no” a lot at first but with time, Samantha helped her regulate her emotions, and was a wizard in redirecting unwanted behaviors. Samantha also helped my son with reading. She had a strict routine with him that he helped her create. Everyday at 10am he would read for an hour out loud to her with small breaks in between, after, she would take him to his swim club. She would usually take them to the park or the beach. Samantha was not only great with my children, but she also managed the house wonderfully. It was so great coming home to a clean house every day. My children fell in love with her, as did me and my husband. She made our lives easier.
