My name is Samantha, My childcare experience includes almost 20 years of babysitting for children from newborns to teens, full time nannying, vacation nannying and babysitting, 2 years as a pre-k assistant teacher working with 4 and 5 yr olds, 2+ years of daycare experience working with primarily the young infants, 4 weeks to 1 year, and experience as a nanny with up to 3 children. I have experience with twins and larger families, and physical and mental disabilities. In addition I have been a certified nursing assistant since 2017, and am comfortable and trained in administration of CPR, first aid, Heimlich, can handle children with complex medical/emotional/social needs. I also have one 10 month old baby girl of my own. I genuinely love working with children, and find that as much as I try to teach them, and help them discover new things, it is usually they who teach Read more me. I am easy going, hardworking, and easy to get along with. I am very confident in my ability to care for children and create a safe/educational and supportive space for them. I enjoy doing crafts/cooking/playing games/ reading, depending on the parents comfort level I also love taking them for walks, trips to the park or other small day trips when possible. I am happy to offer advice or ideas/suggestions, and to proactively come up with solutions to problems, but following and adhering to the rules and procedures and schedules that you have for your children and home are my main priority. I am currently looking for a position or positions where I can take my daughter with me. (I would have backup childcare for days when she is sick or has appointments). I am looking for a minimum of 15 hours a week, all the way up to full time hours. I have a reliable vehicle and am comfortable driving children. I have had background and driving checks run through Sittercity, and would welcome outside background checks if you would so wish.

She set an appointment for an interview and she never showed up or called us to cancel. I had to reschedule a doctors appointment for our baby to be home to meet with her. Unprofessional!

sam recently started working with us, caring for our almost 6-month-old boy/girl twins to make our vacation in the hamptons way more relaxing than it would've been without her! i feel like we totally lucked out finding her. if you find her to be available, JUMP at the chance and hire her. she is extremely sweet, easy-going, professional and fabulous with babies. she has a great energy around them, treats them lovingly and handles them with lots of skill. can't say enough -- THANK YOU, SAM!!!!

Samantha babysat for my 2 children while we were on vacation in Myrtle Beach and she was wonderful. She played with them, did arts and crafts and they loved her. I have already recommended her to friends of ours that are traveling down to Myrtle Beach in two weeks. -Kerri M

We had Samantha babysit for us once so that my wife & I could enjoy an evening out while we were on vacation in Myrtle Beach. Samantha was prompt, & only having met her the day she was to sit for us, we were definitely comfortable leaving our 2 kids, 6 & 2, with her. Our 6-year-old daughter said she & her brother had fun with Samantha that evening. If we were ever in Myrtle Beach again, we would have Samantha sit for us once more.
