I'm a small town girl that's always been yearning for something bigger than the small town atmosphere. I'm willing to travel and get out of my comfort zone to meet your family's needs. I graduated high school half a year earlier than the rest of my class. Graduating before the rest of my class gave me half a year to gain more experience and knowledge in the caregiving industry. From taking babysitter courses as a teenager, CNA classes, CPR classes, and many hours of experience with younger siblings, cousins, and daycare kids, I feel I am qualified for any job that comes my way. I had a close call with what I thought was a very nice family and it turned into a sex-trafficking scam on this very website. Because of that, I am a little scared and require video-chat and references from the parents. If you have any questions, Read more I would love to answer them. I am very open about everything. I'm a freshman at the University of South Dakota and a member of the Alpha Xi Delta sorority. Alpha Xi Delta's philantrophy is Autism Speaks, so I have experience with special needs kids. I also know sign language. I love reading, riding horse, running, working out, rock climbing, and playing sports in my free time. I'm a very energetic and outgoing person. :)

We live in California, both gainfully employed. Against our better judgement we decided to hire Samantha. First she said she would drive out to Ca, then said she wouldnt. She told us she could just drive our cars, which would have doubled our insurance because she is so young. Then she said she was going to fly, then her grandparents were going to drive her out. She has medical issues. We talked to her parents and opened our home to her parents so we would all feel comfortable. We repeatedly asked Samantha if she was sure she was sure she was going to be able to make it to California, she said yes. Two days before she was supposed to come out she, started asking us for references. Very unprofessional! It was more about appeasing her family and her than about our family and two sons. I would caution anyone who may be thinking about hiring her. She seems to think that coming to California is going to be about her and about her employer entertaining her. Her and he family claim to be Christians, but yet had no consideration for our family and her responsibilities to our family, only her needs.
