Sam is a dream nanny and any family would be very lucky to have her care for their little ones. Sam has worked with us as a full time nanny to our baby boy for the past almost 6 months. She is reliable and extremely knowledgeable about child development. She brings experience with multiple ages and developmental issues to the job. It’s been so fun to watch our baby learn to explore new foods, new words and new games due to Sam. She is creative in finding things for them to do - finger painting, going on walks, and playing with toys in ways that encourage development. She is also very level headed and able to calmly react to tough nap times, teething and other things small babies throw at you. Our boy (and our crazy dog who she is amazing with) loves her so much. When she arrives there are huge smiles and it’s such a relief to know he is in good hands all day. Additionally, she helps us with his laundry and keeping areas of the house he plays in tidy. We are really very sad to say goodbye to seeing her every day. Unfortunately, my work makes it so we can no longer be up here full time otherwise we would keep working with her.

Samantha is bright and always willing to help. She goes out her way to understand our little girl and has been supportive as we teach our daughter to speak. Samantha has been very good at assessing our daughter's progress and keeping up with our speech therapist's plans. Samantha is always on time, organized, and goes above and beyond in her care.
