$16 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 14 families in San Antonio, TX

Hello my name is Samantha (26) and I am a UTSA graduate of 2021. I have a Labrador retriever who loves to play. On my free time I like to relax and spend time with family and friends. On the side I am a freelance filmmaker. I work on film sets for feature and short films as grip, gaffer, or camera crew. My services include babysitting and dog care. While babysitting I like to play with the kids, have dance parties, and watch their favorite tv show or movie. One of my favorite things about babysitting is getting to know the child and making a connection with them. I really enjoy spending time with the kids I babysit and making them feel safe while parents are out. If you have any further questions please feel free to message me.

“Samantha was amazing, my son loved her ! We will be working with her again ”
