About Samantha
Experience: 10 yrs
Hello! My name is Samantha. With a decade of experience in childcare, my journey has been enriching and diverse. I embarked on this path as a TA in a daycare, where I discovered my passion for nurturing young minds. Since then, I've expanded my expertise to babysitting and nannying roles that I've embraced with enthusiasm. My career has been complemented by a series of professional qualifications. I hold a para-professional certification, a personal trainer certification, and an associate's degree. These achievements symbolize my commitment to continuous learning and also enhance the quality of care I provide. I've worked with children from newborns to 12 years old. This age range has allowed me to understand and appreciate the unique personalities and developmental stages of each child. My background has equipped me with a plethora of creative and educational strategies, ensuring that the childcare experience I offer is not only safe and nurturing but also stimulating and fun.

Sam was a blessing to our family. Our sons were 10 months and 3 years old when we hired her, she worked with us for 18 months. Sam was never late and was very reliable. She was with our 10 month old full-time and drove our older son to and from preschool. She was very neat and we always came home to a tidy house. Some of her job responsibilities for our family included kids laundry, grocery shopping and dinner prep. She also took our youngest to a weekly gymnastics class and planned other outings to playgrounds and libraries. When our youngest turned two we decided to send him to preschool but continued to work with Sam for sick days, babysitting and overnights when we planned short get-a-way trips. Without Sam, I really do not think I would have been able to stay in the work force through the pandemic. I can’t recommend her highly enough.
