Hi! My name is Sam, I am a 26-year-old Rutgers clinical social work graduate student. I have 8 years experience working with newborns-teens. I practice positive, gentle and respectful parenting techniques when working with children as well as an abundance of outdoor time to explore and play in nature. I am also a trained yoga teacher and specialize in children and teens. I educate parents when needed on proper infant care such as feeding (both bottle and breast), bathing, swaddling and correct car seat buckling/installation... and any other topics that may come up. I am very educated in infant cognitive development as well as children and adolescents, including emotional development.
