Hi, I'm Samantha! In this time of uncertainty, I am here to provide support to your family in a way we can both feel good about. After growing up in the PNW and spending 7 years in Chicago and Madison, I am accustomed to working with diverse family units. I received my Bachelor of Fine Arts from DePaul University in Chicago where I studied Theatre, and began my career as an actress. I have 10 years of paid experience babysitting children from infants to preteens. I also have professional experience in Children's Theatre, where I worked alongside kids of elementary and middle school ages to tell stories for families and young audiences. It is a magical feeling to be a role model and empower young people to use their voices for good. At this time I am looking to work with one family, keeping COVID guidelines in mind, to help Read more with childcare and the supervision of at-home online learning families have been now been thrust into. With my education, experience, and temperament, I am up for the task. I know parents are overwhelmed with both working and managing this new way of educating our kids. That's why I am here to help. I can assist with basic math and science, and especially reading comprehension and writing-as storytelling is my passion! Let's not forget the fun! I can also supervise arts and crafts, playtime, outdoor exercise such as bike rides and masks-on walks to the park. I am pet friendly (just ask my dog). I am compassionate, open-minded, calm, and engaged. I believe in gentle redirection, and empowering kids make good decisions. None of us have been through this situation before, but let's figure it out together.

Samantha has been great with our almost 4 year old son. She is very punctual and comes prepared to engage him in different activities and he is always looking forward to her next visit. She genuinely bonded with our son over outdoor activities, reading and multiple indoor games to keep him constantly entertained. Samantha also helped us out longer than originally planned because another nanny option had not come through and she was very helpful. I would highly recommend Samantha.
