Hello! I was previously a teacher assistant for 3-6 year olds for a total of 3 years before moving on to bcome a Nanny for twin infants and a 4 year old. I’ve been babysitting since I was 15 and have cared for newborns- 13 year olds. I really enjoy cooking , baking, crafts, and the occasional science experiment. With a passion for providing nurturing care and a proven track record of creating a safe and stimulating environment for children, I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to your family.

Kids loved her. House was still clean after watching several small children for multiple hours.

Hi my name is Samantha. I am a full time medical assistant who is cpr certified. I’ve worked in the medical field for more than 15yrs from newborn to working in obstetrical care. I have extensive experience both as a parent and a babysitter. Being a parent has given me firsthand knowledge of caring for children of all ages, from meeting their basic needs to supporting their growth and development. In addition, I’ve spent many years babysitting for other families, which has taught me how to adapt to different routines, personalities, and parenting styles. I’m confident in my ability to create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for kids.

Samantha was amazing! She arrived on time and was fully prepared to jump right in, which I greatly appreciated given the last-minute nature of the request. She was kind, attentive, and immediately connected with my child, who enjoyed playing games and doing arts and crafts. She followed all instructions perfectly, from meal prep and feeding to nap time, bath time, and bedtime. Everything I needed was accomplished seamlessly, and she handled the day with professionalism and care. Her quick response to my last-minute post and willingness to help out on short notice truly stood out. I would highly recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a reliable, responsible, and caring babysitter!

I have done Pre-K through high school in the school for the last 15 years. I have worked with several medically complex children, autism, cerbal palsy kids as well. Each child has been unique and had their own strengths and goals. Given medication at home and in the school setting.
