I have several years of experience working with children in both classroom and childcare settings. I have worked as a substitute teacher across elementary, middle, and high school grade levels, including serving as a permanent substitute at an elementary school. I also spent two summers working as a camp teacher, where I planned educational activities, supervised children, and created a fun, safe, and engaging environment. In addition, I have experience working with children of diverse abilities and learning needs, including gifted and advanced learners, as well as children with muscular dystrophy, intellectual disabilities, autism, ADHD, and various behavioral and developmental needs. I recently earned my Masterβs degree in Secondary Biology Education and am passionate about helping children learn, play, and grow. I am patient, dependable, and compassionate, and I am committed to providing attentive, high quality care while ensuring every child feels safe, supported, respected, and valued.

I am 21 years old and was going to college to be a nurse. I currently work as a CNA at a hospital. I did do a teaching course at my high school senior year. There I got to teach preschool for two years and I even started my college experience going into teaching. Iβve been around children my whole life and I did babysit a 10 month old for about 4 months while I was in high school. I currently babysit a toddler and have been for the last year as well.

Hello! My name is Sammy, and Iβm currently seeking a nanny position that I hope will grow into a long-lasting relationship. Over the years, Iβve 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 lifeβand yours. Thank you for considering me. I look forward to the opportunity to connect with your family! Warmly, Sammy
