I've always been someone who enjoys helping others, so becoming a caregiver felt like a natural fit for me. Over the past five years, I've loved getting to know the children and families I've worked with and being someone they can count on. Watching children learn, grow, and develop their own personalities is one of the most rewarding parts of caregiving, and I love being a positive and dependable person in their lives. As I work toward becoming a social worker, I hope to build a career centered around supporting others. Caregiving has allowed me to gain meaningful experience while doing something I truly enjoy. I'm CPR, First Aid, and AED certified through my experience as a lifeguard, and I strive to create a safe, caring, and encouraging environment for every child. I have also been a swim coach for 5+ years and have fostered a fun yet encouraging environment for kids to enjoy the sport as well as grow and feel proud of themselves. I have done a bunch of dog sitting and babysitting. I enjoy cleaning and cooking as well as getting to know the family I am looking after and making them the priority. I'd describe myself as organized, compassionate, and hardworking. In my free time, I enjoy staying active at the gym, reading, and coloring as a way to relax, recharge, and stay creative. I think it’s important to help kids be creative as well as encouraging their curiosity, confidence, and individuality, along with being a support system for the family.

Hi! My name is Samara, and caring for children has always been my passion. I’m the oldest of two siblings and also have two adopted older siblings, along with four wonderful nieces and nephews (one niece and three nephews), so I’ve been around children my whole life. Ever since I was little, I knew I wanted to work with kids, helping them learn, grow, and become kind, respectful young men and women. I have experience working at Nichols Elementary School in Stratford, as well as at two daycare centers, caring for children of different ages and supporting their development through learning and play. I am currently in the process of opening my own daycare because working with children is truly what I love. I am CPR certified and EpiPen certified, and I always prioritize the safety and well-being of the children in my care. I’m dependable, patient, nurturing, and love creating a fun, engaging, and safe environment where children can thrive. I’m also very pet-friendly—I have five dogs and two cats—so I’m comfortable caring for families with pets. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help with light housekeeping, including laundry, dishes, sweeping, mopping, organizing, and general tidying. I would love the opportunity to provide dependable, loving care and become someone your family can trust.
