Hi there! My name is Samantha. I'm a 22-year-old student of Mathematics. I recently moved to Vancouver, WA from the East Coast. My experience is extensive and varied. I gained most of my experience between 16 and 18 in my hometown. The city I relocated to for school didn't have a lot of babysitting opportunities, so I opted instead for jobs in retail. Now that I've relocated, I'd like to get established with some new families in the area. I can provide ample references, both personal and specific to my care history. I have experience as a lifeguard and am trained in CPR, first aid, etc. I am open to receiving any additional training or certifications to accommodate the needs of the right family. As a person, I am bright, warm, and creative. I care about your kids as if they were my own and aspire to do everything I Read more can to make their time as positive and carefree as possible. Childhood is a pivotal time and I want only to add to their joy. In my studies and personal life, I am a bit of a intellectual/overthinker. Being around kids gives me the opportunity to get out of my head and into the moment. Being present with them and attending to their needs is fulfilling, and it's why I love this work. I hope I've made an impression. My takeaway message is this: the proof of the pudding is in the eating. Some sitters (myself included) may sound great on paper, but don't work in practice for your family. The only way to know for sure is to meet up and start the process of getting to know each other. I'm looking forward to the opportunity to provide care for your family. Warm wishes, Samantha R.
