Hello! My name is Samantha and I am thrilled to return to babysitting. I have a degree in Elementary Education K-6 with an endorsement in Special Education. I recently left the classroom after having been a Full-time Public School Elementary Teacher since 2021, and I am looking to start babysitting for families that are in need of an extra helping hand. Prior to my graduation, I was a regular babysitter for multiple families. I am experienced in driving children to and from their extracurricular activities, providing homework support, and creating a joyful and safe environment for children to learn, play, and discover. I enjoy being a caregiver and I highly value the partnership I develop with parents. I am eager to continue supporting families and their individual needs.
