Hello, I’m Sam! I’m 23 and I have been a caregiver for multiple children for 6 years. I have previously cared for infants and children of all ages as well as kids with ADHD, Autism, and children with physical disabilities. I have been a Type 1 Diabetic for 12 years and have loved helping children with diabetes learn how to manage their health without missing out on the joys of childhood. When I’m not helping my partner create lesson plans for her 6th grade class, you can find me roller skating or walking my handsome man, Hank! (By handsome man, I mean my adorable dog) I am looking for a babysitting or nanny position where I can work 2-3 times a week around 8:00am-5:00pm, Monday through Friday. 7:45am is the earliest I can be available. As long as I am given at least 3 days notice, I will do my Read more best to be available to provide childcare at night and on weekends for the occasional date night, work events, or well-deserved parent self-care time! I am looking forward to meeting your families and building meaningful connections with your children to help them grow and prosper.
