I am currently a part-time care giver. I have been babysitting since I was 14 years old, about 14 years now. I have worked with kids of all ages, from newborn to teenagers, including special needs. I have a few cousins that have special needs including Autism, Asperger's, and medical needs that include being hearing impaired, allergies, diabetes, and cancer. I can prepare meals, provide transportation, do house cleaning and laundry, provide tutoring, and assist in anything a parent will need. I am very patient, have good time management, and try to closely follow the same parental structure as the parents do. I am fun, active, but can also provide structure and discipline when necessary. I have my own transportation, drivers license, and full-coverage insurance. I am CPR and First-Aid Certified and I also have my Life Guard Certification. I love to work out, do fun activities like art, visiting Read more local parks, museums, and festivals. I enjoy being able to do things with the family I work for, including traveling local or non-local. My perfect job setting would be being able to be part of the family I work for!

It's been almost 3 months since Samara started babysitting my kid, and so far it's been awesome. At first I was very worried about finding the right sitter because many people warned me that it won't be easy and I may have to try out multiple people, but I lucked out big time. Samara is great at taking directions/feedback, very observant, and respects my parenting style/priorities, and most of all, my kid loves her, even my dog. I appreciate how she always keeps me posted with big and small milestones my kid achieves while I'm not there. When she's around, I know that my kid will be safe and have a wonderful time so I'm very happy that I found her and have no doubts that others will have a similar experience working with her.

Samara is a wonderful caregiver! I’ve been working with her for about 2 months to watch my daughter (who loves her) a few times a week and she’s been great. She’s punctual, active with the baby and good at communication. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!
