Hello! My name is Sam, and I am a passionate and enthusiastic professional dedicated to child development. With eight years of experience working with children from birth to age ten, I have served as both a preschool teacher and a private nanny for two families. Currently, I’m in my junior year of college, pursuing a degree in Early Childhood Education, and I also attended a half-day technical school focused on early childhood education during high school. I enjoy fostering creativity through art, outdoor activities, sensory play, and learning through play. My background as a preschool teacher has equipped me with strong organizational skills, effective supervision techniques, and a solid understanding of developmental milestones. I would love the opportunity to meet your family and discuss how I can contribute to your child’s growth and development. Looking forward to connecting!
