Hi - My preferred name is Sam. I have been caring for children since I was 8, when my beautiful nieces and nephews were born. Growing up, I'd help my sister care for her little ones, and naturally, I loved being around them. As I got older, I started occasionally caring for kids in my neighborhood. I became a full-time nanny during the pandemic for a 5-year-old boy. And I am currently a part-time nanny for a 2-month-old baby girl. I am CPR certified. I love animals! I dog-sit when folks are out of town. I'm always happy to help meal prep and help with things around the house. And if you'd like someone to teach your little one Spanish, I'm your girl! I have a calm and warm spirit. And I love tapping into my inner child when it comes to playing with the kids. My major hobbies include songwriting, drawing, and photography. I also love to play guitar, read, and spend time with my pup on my free time. I am currently interested in families looking for a part-time, occasional, date night, or overnight sitter.

Every summer in high school I was a camp counselor for roughly six weeks, working with ages 4-10. I also frequently babysat during high school, usually ages 7-10. I am currently on my fourth season as a Girls on the Run coach for ages 8-10. I really enjoy spending time kids. I have always had a dog and typically take care of my dog when my parents are away. I am a responsible person and understand the effort required to take care of people (fur people include) and genuinely enjoy doing that!
