Meet Samantha

Hey there =) I am 22, I have 10 years experience in childcare, in addition I also have a 3 year old daughter (whom, may or may not be with me when I babysit). My mother became a foster mother when I still lived at home so I have a lot of experience with autistic children/teens, and teens/children with behavioral issues. I have watched up to 6 kids at once. I have experience with newborns up to 18 years old. I love pets, playing outsides, walks, going to the park, arts and crafts. I will cook, do laundry, transportation, homework help, housekeeping, and walking/feeding/taking care of pets.
