I am a certified teacher with 2 1/2 years experience in kindergarten and first grade education. While teaching, I developed expertise in working with students with behavioral needs, as well as those learning English as a second language. I am a skilled manager of behavior, adeptly handling classes of up to 20 five- and six year-olds. I now use this experience to tailor a set of expectations, rewards, and consequences according to the needs and desires of the families I serve. Prior to being an educator, I have worked in a variety of childcare positions, including with multiples, children from ages newborn to 12 years, preschool settings, and families both large and small. I have been CPR and First Aid certified and will gladly re-certify if you desire me to be so. Other certifications include Mandated Reporter, Dealing with Tough Kids, Effective Management, and ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Read more Languages). I am semi-fluent in Spanish, a safe driver, non-smoker, and am also punctual and extremely reliable.

Samantha is amazing with Tyler, my son. She is punctual and easy to communicate with. My son saw her and immediately found her interesting and totally ignored me walking out of the door which he never does. I had a late evening and not once did she complain about time even though Tyler went to sleep late. They played games watch movies, and practiced writing lol. If you are looking for a dependable, trustworthy sitter this is your girl!
