I am a former investigative journalist and paralegal. I left my full-time job recently to spend more time with my terminally-ill father to work as his personal care attendant at various (flexible) hours of the day in Harvard, MA. I am available at all hours, including overnights and full-time, to assist you. I am an attentive, engaged and energetic 30-year old who would love to care for your children, pets, family and household. I am also very passionate about cooking and healthy eating (for vegans, vegetarians and those concerned about weight, too!). I am also adamant about your child's education and a tutor. I love math and science as well as English, and would be glad to assist with homework troubles or project concerns. In my spare time I love to read, watch classic films and play ukulele, guitar, and the antique piano I saved from a church basement recently. Read more I live in a beautiful loft in Lowell, MA in a condo I recently bought for myself and my 1-year-old sheltie puppy; he’s named Winslow after my favorite New England artist. We love to take hikes together, as well as walks through neighborhood parks and farmer's markets.

Samantha has sat for us twice and would not hesitate to hire her again. Both my son and daughter enjoyed having her come and she is a mature and responsible care giver which is sometimes difficult to find. I highly recommend her.

Samantha is an excellent sitter. She is very mature and responsible. She takes her work very seriously, and the children have fun with her. She is a responsible driver, and has prepared meals for the children. I highly recommend her.
