A little bit about me

Hi! I'm Sammy, a recent Ohio State graduate living in Columbus. I'm responsible, energetic, and genuinely enjoy spending time with kids.

I love being active, spending time outdoors, cooking, helping with homework, playing games, and finding fun ways to keep kids engaged. Friends and family would describe me as dependable, patient, and someone who is easy to trust.

Throughout college, I balanced academics, leadership roles, work, and community involvement, which taught me how to stay organized, communicate well, and handle responsibility. More than anything, I enjoy being someone families can count on and kids feel comfortable around.

I'm happy to help with childcare, transportation, homework, meal prep, and whatever else makes life a little easier for your family!
