My names Samantha and I'm a mother of 2 who started out doing babysitting jobs in the summer as a teenager and then date night sitting jobs on weekends. After graduating and some restaurant jobs I put in a few years in the office and I loved it, but the company went under around when I got pregnant with my first son so my husband told me to stay at home and raise our son. When my son was about a year old I was missing work so I did sitting and nannying jobs with two companies until I had my second daughter. My kids are now a little older and I have a live in babysitter(aka I allow my dad to live rent free in exchange for child care.) I do self employment gigs like housekeeping(including laundry) both commercial and residential, painting, mowing and I cant forget pet walking, Read more boarding and sitting. I can care for newborns to teenagers and seniors, dogs of any size or breed and cats, plus I'm a great cook and don't mind helping on things like laundry and outdoor house work. I always put in 110% effort and treat others children, homes, pets and loved ones with the exact respect I give me own and thats the way you get quality care. Coming from a home with 5 bedrooms, 3 levels, 2 kids, 4 dogs and a husband that drive a truck I've learned to manage. I can easily make someone else's a whole lot easier as this is all second nature to me. Oh and I dont want to forget to mention I have 0 criminal record which I can provide a copy of if needed and as for driving record I've never even gotten a seatbelt ticket.
