Hello! My name is Sammy, and I’m currently seeking a nanny position that I hope will grow into a long-lasting relationship. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with children ranging from 6 weeks to 15 years old through various roles in teaching, babysitting, and nannying. I have experience caring for multiples, including twins, as well as children with special needs. Prior to Covid and during Covid, I was a Preschool and Two's teacher. Then, I transitioned to nannying. I truly enjoy planning engaging activities such as arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, and fun, engaging outings within the community to help children learn and grow in a nurturing environment. I believe strong communication is key to a successful caregiver-family relationship, especially when it comes to caring for someone as special as your children. My goal is always to become a trusted, loving presence in your child's lifeβ€”and yours. Thank you for considering me. I look forward to the opportunity to connect with your family! Warmly, Sammy

Hi! I’m a recent Physician Assistant graduate looking for a part-time babysitting job while I’m in between starting my career and as a side job.

I’m energetic, easygoing, and bubbly, and genuinely love spending time with kidsβ€”whether that’s playing, running around, doing activities, or helping with whatever is needed in the home such as meal prep or cleaning.

I have been a nanny since 2019 and have cared for a range of ages from newborn to middle school ages. I have mainly cared for late infant-preschool ages, but do have plenty of experience with other ages still! I have a 5 year old myself, so I also have firsthand experience caring for a child outside of nannying 😊
