My name is Samantha, and I’m 33 years old. I’m a professional nanny and occasional babysitter when I have the chance. I have over 10 years of experience caring for children of all ages—from newborns as young as 9 weeks, to toddlers, preschoolers, school-aged kids, and teenagers. Before becoming a nanny, I started a kids dance program at the Montecito YMCA, which sparked my passion for working with children and supporting families.

I take pride in creating safe, engaging, and fun environments where children thrive and parents have peace of mind knowing their kids are well cared for.

Hi! I am a third year studying film and theater at UCSB. I am originally from Indiana, where I have 2 younger siblings. I believe this is where my love for children comes from, for I have always thought of my siblings in a maternal way. Thus, I started babysitting in 8th grade for it was the only job that truly sounded appealing and exciting to me. Ever since then, I have babysat and nannied throughout my summers and during the school year on weekends and nights. I genuinely love working with kids and hope to work with yours :)

I know that my time and place here is meant to be someone whom supports, educates, and laughs with children. I know how important the tone of voice you use when talking to children, how they see you interact with the world, and how they need humans in their life that are compassionate, patient, and know how effective they can be in molding a child's way of being. I am currently a Philosophy student at UC Berkeley, working on a project that will bring philosophical discussions into classrooms and community centers. Especially in this time, children need help in making sense of everything, answering their questions that are sometimes unanswerable. I want to be that person that supports and provides comfort in the times of confusion or curiosity. I have worked with infants, adolescence, and teenagers. I have nannied infants and coach high school women's volleyball. I want nothing more than to help children, families, and the world in raising who will one day be the minds creating.
