Hi! My name is Sam and I love to nurture, teach, and enrich the lives of those around me. I believe the best moments in life are spent smiling and laughing with friends and family and that love is the first requisite to happiness. I have a B.S in Public Health from The University of Tampa. In Tampa, I nannied with Soho Sitters where I also helped create mommy and me fitness events and music/dance therapy classes for the community. I have nannied since I was old enough to not need one myself! I have clinical experience as a home health aide, nursing aide, hospital aide, and in the medical field. I am currently a part time comprehensive Pilates and yoga teacher, wellness coach, nanny/pet sitter, and own a home-based Pilates/personal training studio in Fuquay-Varina. I enjoy all activities under the sun (and on rainy days too)! From sports to Read more art therapy, music, dance, reading, games, movies, singing, and making school work interesting! All of my little cubs have thoroughly enjoyed trying yoga, Pilates, breath-work, meditation, and learning how fun being active is (yes, even meditation!) Lately I have really loved trying holistic recipes in the kitchen. If your kids like to play in the kitchen, I can show them how easy and fun it is to make a healthy snack at home! I love all children as If they are my own little cubs. I am truly so excited to have children of my own in the next few years! I have always enjoyed caring for children from all walks of life and have three years of experience as a counselor at a summer camp for adolescents with special needs. My undergraduate study, work and life experiences have taught me about child-adolescent health behavior and psychology, as well as infant health and safe practices. I have a reliable car I already call my mom-mobile as it is a 2020 mid-size VW Tiguan and my driving is monitored by Progressive's safe driver app. I am an animal lover and also have over 12 years of paid pet sitting experience. Dogs and cats have always been in my life. I have owned four large breed dogs of my own and currently pet sit in my home with my three year old hound mix, Chapman! I aim to make a positive impact, be a positive influence, and help set your child up for success in life. I look forward to caring for your loved ones and helping your family anyway I can!
