Hello! My name is Samantha, and I graduated with a Masters degree in psychology. For the past ten years, I have worked with children as a nanny, after school tutor, behavioral therapist, teacher's assistant, mentor, camp counselor, and therapist. I have spent many years working with children who have experienced physical, mental and emotional disabilities. I am extremely comfortable working with children in all age groups, family sizes, and needs. What I appreciate and enjoy most of working with children is teaming up with the parent's and becoming part of the family. I believe that component is extremely important. My philosophy is to treat each child uniquely based on their individual needs. I am not the typical babysitter who simply walks in and stares at your child for five or six hours. I believe in engaging them with interactive play that also reinforces desired behavior and learning. I Read more take my job very seriously, and that is something you can expect from me each and every day. I am very loyal to the people in my life, and treat each child and family with the same respect. I look forward to hearing from you!
