Hi, I'm Samantha! I have a Masters in International Education from GW, where I also went for undergrad. I have more than ten years of childcare experience, including nannying, babysitting, directing youth programs for summer camps, and teaching. I have also worked in programming, and designed curriculum for, several education based nonprofits in the area. Furthermore, I speak several languages, and am CPR & First Aid certified. In my free time, I enjoy spending time outdoors, cooking, traveling, and DIY projects. You'll often find me playing with my puppy at the dog park, exploring a farmers market, biking, or volunteering. I am currently available for weeknight (tues-thurs) babysitting or tutoring, and weekend babysitting. Please check my availability calendar for exact days and times, or feel free to message me!
