Hi, I’m Sam!

I’m currently taking a gap year and love working with kids. Caring for children has always been a passion of mine, and I’ve had nothing but wonderful experiences in my previous jobs.

I’m hoping to connect with a family who could use an extra set of eyes and helping hands at home. Think of me as a family friend, big brother, mentor, or role model — whatever you and your child need, I’ll be there to support!
