Hello! My name is Sam and I have been working with children for the past 8 years in various settings. For the last 2 years, I have been working at a before & after school program as a supervisor where I planned curriculum for about 100 elementary aged kids. I currently have my Associate's degree in Child and Adolescent Development and am looking at taking a step back from my current position to pursue my Bachelor's Degree. I have experience with children ages 6 months to 14 years, children with behavioral problems and/or special needs. This summer, I am looking forward to being outside, swimming, playing, doing crafts, and having fun! Looking forward to meeting you and your family :)

Sam is wonderful with kids and instantly connected with my 4.5 year old through play. My reserved 2 year old also warmed up to her quite quickly. She arrived a few minutes early each day (which I so appreciate!) and was easy to communicate with. I highly recommend working with her!
