Find experienced child care providers in Portsmouth, RI

Hello, and thanks for stopping by. My name is Samantha. I possess a unique set of skills and experience, that I am hoping will help your family thrive! I spent 18yrs as an RN in charge of a very busy medical/surgical unit. I left that career in 2021 ,and worked as a full time Nanny for infant Triplets. That was the best decision I have ever made. “the opportunity of a lifetime” I provided care for identical triplet boys age 6mos until they were pre-school ready this year. I spent a total of 5yrs with this family, 2 full-time working parents. I I view my role as an extension or team mate to parents. Learning their parenting style and expectations, allow consistency for the child. , Whether gentle parenting, or any style I firmly believe honoring each families parenting style is essential. Prior to my Nursing career I Nannied for a few families, and started sitting at age 12. I have 3 of my own children, now young adults. My love for children has always been my calling. I am passionate about learning each child’s interests, evolving as they grow, and fostering an environment that encourages and acknowledges them as unique people, regardless of age. I formulated a flexible curriculum using play, outdoor time, and exploring as learning opportunities. Speech development and milestones can be achieved in any setting. I found, daily walks brought opportunities to learn about wild life, the changing seasons, to learning their home address. With my last family, we began letter recognition by writing letters in the sand. I enjoy creating a fun learning atmosphere. Safety is of course ALWAYS paramount. I found, once appropriate, explaining why it’s important to be aware of cars when crossing street, or any other important safety issue, that honesty works. Just a brief description of my approach and what I believe leads to a successful partnership between Nanny & Family. I have 2 years of college education in Early Childhood Education. An Associate’s in Nursing Science. CPR certified, including pediatric specific cpr & choking training. Infant-teen caregiver experience. Sleep training, toilet training, and experience with children on the spectrum. If you are seeking a caregiver that is passionate and will honor your expectations, and provide loving, safe, nurturing care for your child/children, please consider reaching out. Thank you!

Working with kids has always been a passion of mine. Since Ive turned 12 I have taken any babysitting job offered. I have two nephews and a niece that I have helped take care of since birth. I have worked with kids of all ages through summer camps, clubs and babysitting. I am a current daycare teacher working primarily with infants and toddlers, however I have experience with all ages. Working with children is a very rewarding experience and something that I appreciate fully. Their positive outlook and imagination always makes me smile. I love to help children embrace their creativity while giving them comfort and safety at the same time.

I am a caring young adult. In the past, I've worked as a substitute teacher in Warwick School District, K-12, where I gained valuable experience working with children of various ages. This background has helped me develop patience, creativity, and effective communication skills, all of which I bring to babysitting. Currently, I work in the medical field, which has further strengthened my ability to stay calm, think quickly, and ensure the safety and well-being of others. Whether it’s helping with homework, playing games, or making sure your child is well cared for, I’m confident I can provide a fun and safe environment.
