Hello there! My name is Sam. I am an experienced babysitter/nanny who has worked for a wide variety of families for over 10 + years. I am relocating to my home city of Chicago this summer and am looking for a reliable nannying job for the course of the summer, with potential to continue afterward. I have worked with infants to adolescents and feel extremely comfortable and confident tailoring my skillset to your child's personality and needs. I take great pride in the fact that I have built strong relationships with my families and would be more than happy to provide references. I am CPR certified and have reliable transportation. A little bit about me when I am not changing diapers or in the school pick up line, I have worked in both local & national news markets in production, as well as, most recently, worked as an executive assistant Read more at CBS. I am someone who works well under pressure and in stressful environments, children not being all that different! I love to travel, bake and spend time with my dog Louie! I consider myself to be an optimistic and energetic person who will bring a positive energy to your home and family. I would love to connect further and learn more about your expectations if you think I may be a good fit for your position. Please shoot me a message. Looking forward to connecting soon!

Sam has been a wonderful addition to our family as a nanny to our daughter, starting with us when she was only 4 months old. Sam genuinely cares for the children she looks after and brings a limitless amount of warmth and energy with her each day! We work mostly from home, so it brings us so much joy to hear the songs and laughter in the next room. Aside from her amazing 1:1 work with the children, Sam is an extremely professional, communicative, and kind person. We love working with Sam and highly recommend her!

We were greatly impressed by the way Samantha took care of, and interacted with, our 20 mos. old son. We asked her to watch our son while we had a performance (my wife and I are classical musicians) and from the moment she met our son she was very conscientious and engaged. He took to her immediately and it was clear that she was dedicated to her work and very responsible. We heartily recommend her and look forward to using her ourselves in the future!
