Hi there! I'm Sam, and I'm a graduate student at USC. While pursuing my masters degree, I'm seeking to part-time nannying and babysitting work. I've taken care of children my whole life! I'm the oldest of 4 in my family, and have had many child-care jobs throughout high school and college, as well as a few years of experience teaching children's gymnastics classes in high school. I am comfortable with light meal preparation for children, help with homework, driving children to activities, light laundry, light housekeeping and more.

I am a safe driver with a clean record, and am fully vaccinated. Currently, I'm mainly available on an as-needed basis, date nights, and weekends. Thanks for viewing my profile and I hope that I can be the right Read more match for your family!

Samantha is wonderful and I would highly recommend her! I travelled from Australia to attend a conference in LA with my 3 year old son, and was naturally nervous about finding someone who was trustworthy and could establish a quick rapport with him following a long flight and in an unfamiliar location. I needn’t have worried because Samantha made friends with him instantaneously, and even by the end of the first day my son didn’t want her to leave (and was awake early every day, wanting to know when Sam would arrive so he could see her again!) I really appreciated that Samantha would also text me to let me know where they were going, and also sent photos. I felt my son was very secure and safe in her care. She was prompt and reliable, and I loved the way she instantly focused on playing with my son and developed such a great rapport with him. I would highly recommend her care.
