About Samantha

Experience: 19 yrs

Available August 2026. Hi! I'm Sam. I live in Oakwood and have 2 school aged kids. Child development is my passion. My experience includes 15 years in early childhood education with an emphasis on newborn and infant care, accruing thousands of paid hours caring for newborns. I have an AA in ECE, and CDA. 3 years co-managing BH child development center. 5 years experience being an infant nanny to include babies with complex medical needs. I pride myself in being nurturing, dependable, intuitive and organized. The first few years of a child's life profoundly impacts their social, emotional, physical and cognitive development. Laying the foundation of who they become. I believe that nurturing, responsive and consistent care helps build confident children.

From the very beginning, Miss Sam cared for our baby with a level of love and devotion that truly feels as if she were her own. Her gentle, nurturing approach creates a warm and safe environment where our baby sincerely thrives. One thing that sets Miss Sam apart is her deep knowledge of child development. She is always one step ahead, guiding us through milestones, offering expert advice on everything from sleep routines to nutrition, and handling illnesses with calm confidence. Her creativity shines especially as our baby grows into a toddler—she always finds innovative ways to resolve toddler drama and keep learning fun. She regularly impresses me with new toys or learning materials specific to my child’s interests and skills. Miss Sam is a natural teacher, engaging our child in play that is both educational and joyful. She wrote into her own contract “zero screen time” which is almost unheard of these days. We are constantly inspired by her ideas and have learned so much about how to support our child’s growth thanks to her guidance. She sends us regular updates about our baby’s day along with photos and videos so we don’t miss her so much at work. Her passion for helping children reach their full potential is evident in everything she does. Beyond her exceptional care, she goes above and beyond in helping our household run smoothly. She tidies up, tackles chores as she sees, and brings calm to our home. Her reliability and flexibility are unmatched—she communicates clearly, accommodates schedule changes and travel, and is always respectful and kind. Miss Sam is an irreplaceable part of our family. Her warmth, kindness, and dedication have made her an integral part of our lives, and we are endlessly grateful for the love and care she brings every single day. If you are looking for someone who will cherish your child and enrich your family, look no further—she is truly the best there is.
