About Samantha

Hi! My name is Sam and I'm a Doctoral Candidate at the University of Oregon studying Communication & Media Studies. I'm originally from Los Angeles, but have been living in Eugene for two years now. I have years of experience caring for infants and children of all ages, kids with special needs, seniors, and pets (especially dogs, guinea pigs, and turtles). I am fully vaccinated and double-boosted against COVID-19. I also own a car. I enjoy art and being creative, and I love music. I started singing at a young age, playing the piano at 4-years-old, and I spent years working in the music industry. Weather permitting, you'll probably find me walking or hiking with my husband and our puppy Otis. Between grad school and teaching/researching at UO, regular part-time nanny/sitter jobs as well as one-time jobs around Eugene are ideal for me. So far, I've loved working with families through Care. com, which has blessed me with great friendships!
