Hi! I'm Samara, fully vaccinated, CPR and First-Aid Certified nanny. Experienced with infant sleep routines and sleep training methods. I have more than 10 years of experience working with kids of all ages. I also have 18 months experience with special needs. I love spending time with children supporting them to grow in a fun, safe, caring and stimulating environment. I'm very responsible, dedicated, patient and reliable. I always like to work as a team and have good communication with the parents, so we both can feel comfortable to talk about the children's development, their behavior and also about adjustments that we might need to do while we work together. I'm a safe driver who loves to drive, clean DL records and a reliable car that I can use in case the family needs it. Feel free to reach me out if you'd like to know more about me or my experience. I'll be happy to answer you.

Sam is a fantastic caregiver! She occasionally cares for my 9 month old and 3 year old. She’s always on time, very sharp and professional, and genuinely engages with the kids. I appreciate that she asks great questions to ensure she’s following our routines and preferences. I always have peace of mind when she’s watching my kids. I highly recommend Sam!

Hello, families! 😁 I’ve been taking care of little ones since many years ago. I was a preschool and elementary teacher so my experience is specially in ages 2-10+. Looking forward to connect with you.☀️

Daniela was great with our daughter! They had fun in our home while we were out. She connected with my daughter quickly and they had fun games and drawings. I’d recommend her to my friends

I have experience caring for kids of all ages, from toddlers to teens. I’m responsible, patient, and organized, and I love supporting each child’s unique personality and development. I’m comfortable with school pickups, homework, meals, sports, playdates, bedtime routines, and I’m great at keeping kids engaged in fun and meaningful activities. I also love pets and can help with light household tasks. Families describe me as reliable, warm, and proactive, and I always aim to create a positive and safe environment for everyone.
