I hope to share my experience and passion with others!

Hi there! As a mother of three energetic kids, I have years of hands-on experience caring for infants, toddlers, and young children. I know firsthand how to keep little ones safe, engaged, and well-cared for—whether that means organizing creative craft projects, managing meal schedules, or maintaining a calm routine. I look forward to supporting your family!

Samantha $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello! Thank you for looking at my profile! As a child I was always the unpaid babysitter for my siblings and cousins. I was able to change diapers before I was even 10 so it comes naturally to take care and look after small kids. I’m very attentive and kind. I enjoy creative and fun activities! I currently take care of a family member as a caregiver for 3 years so that definitely emphasizes to my abilities to care, delegate and support others.

I love helping children feel safe and comfortable, whether it’s during bedtime routines, quiet play, or overnight care. Families appreciate that I bring the calm, reliability, and professionalism of a classroom setting into their home.
