A little bit about me

I am trained as a developmental psychopathologist, and adjunct professor (child development; lifespan development), and working on a book project (about children with China adoption histories). I am also single parent to a teenager.

During grad school, I was a nanny for two different families. One father told me, as we said goodbye, that they were proud of the young man their child was becoming; they attributed some of that to my influence. They were terrific parents, so I don’t now how much credit I can take, but it felt great to be appreciated.

I worked with at-risk children of court-appointed parents (parents at risk of their children being removed from their home).

I do not smoke or vape or use drugs. I drink alcohol in moderation; Driving--I've never had a moving violation. English is my native language.

My Strengths: Setting firm (yet appropriately flexible) boundaries; sense of humor; supporting reading skills development; supporting social skills development.

A little bit about me

Hi! I am a senior at Cambridge Rindge and Latin High School. Since the age of 14, I've accumulated babysitting experience with multiple children aged 4-9. I am open to babysitting children of any age, and, as a twin myself, am very open to being a nanny for multiple children at once. Meal prep and housekeeping are two areas I can help out in. In my free time, I love playing the board game Clue with my family, baking delicious cookies, and spending time with my friends' younger siblings. I also love coming up with bad jokes.

I'm 24 years old and have worked as a theater childcare specialist with 3 and 5-year-olds, a literacy specialist in a K-2 school, a writing workshop leader with 14-18-year-olds. I am currently a high school engagement specialist and writing tutor. I love working with kids of all ages, the outdoors, competitive rowing, all things creative, and cooking. I'm so excited to get to know you and your family!

Recent reference

"Sam was the very best Americorps member I’ve ever had. Her presence in my building was truly recognizable as something I wish every teacher and para were able to possess. Her ability to connect with students from all backgrounds is commendable. She went above and beyond for our students and teachers, even so far as to find an opportunity to get teachers free paint and then plan and execute some amazing projects for the students and teachers with the paint. She was truly an asset to my school and I would hire her back in an instant."
