A little bit about me… Hi! My name is Sam. I started out babysitting when I was 14. I moved on to be a full time nanny in college. I have grown children and 2 pugs. I’ve been cpr certified and first aid certified. I also know how to use a defibrillator. I have done overnights. Gone on vacation with families. Taken to lessons and parks, library, doctor appts. I give serious attention to children with disabilities. I’ve been a nanny for 4 different families with special needs children. From Autism Spectrum Disorder, asthma, cardiac issues, and seizures to name a few. I have extensive experience in the world of IEP’s and 504’s. Experience with working with children in Birth to 3. Feel free to inquire and we can discuss your needs. Education is very important. I do age appropriate schooling, reading, art, and playtime. My children received full scholarships Read more to their respective colleges and my daughter received a full scholarship for her Master degree as well. I spent a semester abroad and went to China for help with my thesis in ancient Chinese history. I love to travel and have done so extensively. I’m pretty cool and kids of all ages like me! I look forward to hearing from you and your children. I drive a very safe car (Volvo XC-90) and have a Britex car seat all ready for activities, doctor appointments and grocery shopping. I have plenty of experience with dogs of all sizes. My Neapolitan Mastiff was a show dog. Currently I have two pugs and an Old English Sheepdog. Please enquire with any questions and what you are looking for.
