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.
