A little bit about me
I’m a criminal justice major with big dreams of becoming an FBI agent or a criminal defense attorney. Growing up in Washington, D.C., I’ve always felt a strong connection to my community and hope to gain professional experience in my home state.
On campus, at Tennessee State University I stay busy as a resident assistant, women’s basketball manager, and proud Pre-Law Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity member. I’ve also worked hard academically and have been honored to make the Dean's List three times. Beyond my studies and leadership roles, I have a passion for childcare and love babysitting.
I enjoy hands-on activities, learning new skills, and meeting new people, which fuels my drive to become a strong communicator and embrace diversity in everything I do.

A little bit about me
I’d describe my personality as honest, fun, ambitious, caring, funny
I like working with kids because I get to experience new personalities, see how young minds shape, sharing different cultures, seeing them learn, seeing what sparks them to be great and most importantly happy, seeing different milestones that I get to share with them !
I’m looking for a job that we can both learn from each other, having understanding and patients, being able to trust each other to know that we both have the best intentions at heart and for me to be a friend to you and your kids
I started working with kids when I was super young but made it into a profession when I moved to the US to Au Pair working with 3 kids and absolutely wish I had a clock to turn around so I could be their nanny again. They taught me more than I could ever teach them !
One thing you should know about me is that I am very interested in knowledge and absolutely love to share it with everyone

A little bit about me
Hi parents! My name is Samantha and I’m a college student majoring in Education with 7 years of childcare experience. I’ve cared for little ones as young as 2 months all the way up to teens age 17. I truly love working with kids of all ages and creating safe, fun, and nurturing environments for them to grow and learn. I’ve worked as an RBT, lead teacher, and assistant teacher, and I’ve also gained great experience at DC Preparatory Academy and Kindercare Learning Center. In those roles, I’ve worked in both traditional and inclusion classrooms, which gave me the chance to support kids with all different needs and learning styles. Those experiences taught me how to adapt, be patient, and make sure every child feels included, supported, and valued. I’d say I’m patient, energetic, and dependable. I love jumping in wherever I’m needed whether it's helping with homework, keeping kids entertained with fun activities, or giving parents peace of mind knowing their little ones are in good hands.
