Full-Time Nanny Available in Talent, OR: Sam S.

"Sam was great with our two little girls as the nanny for our share and truly invaluable in so many ways. Sam really showed up with her whole heart, and met our daughter where she was with care and compassion. She always communicated well in advance when she needed PTO, and was overall very communicative on a daily basis about events, concerns, successes, etc. Sam is very attentive to time, arriving early, communicating any potential delays of her arrival time, and tracking her daily time worked to a T. Furthermore, she was always great at following specific care-related requests, be it medication, diet, behavior management, or otherwise. Overall, Sam is amazing. I would love to keep her working for our family if she wasn’t moving, and would 100% recommend her as a nanny."

"I had some pretty heavy anxiety, naturally, about leaving my 4-month-old in the care of someone I didn't know, even with great initial interviews with Sam. She seemed perfect and I trusted her. But still... this is your child... and you NEED someone with the highest integrity. Someone who will care about your child almost as much as you do, who will not secretly ignore their needs, will not secretly lose their temper, will always be honest and keep your child's safety, wellbeing, and happiness as their highest priority. It was quickly apparent that Sam was the unicorn we were looking for, and remained so through our second child. She's the person where you to fight to say goodbye to your kids in the morning because they're running toward her shouting "Sammy!!" She just loves kids. And she'll always be family. It was heartbreaking when she moved, but she's back and I'm so glad other families will have the chance to work with her. Treat her with great respect, she's a blessing."

"Nanny Sam is an amazing human and incredible caregiver. Attuned, attentive, responsible, compassionate, loving — I really can’t believe how lucky we were to find her and have her shepherd our little girl from age 1-3 in a Portland nanny share with another child the same age. Extremely competent and experienced, she’s been a professional nanny for many years and her wisdom (learned and innate) shines brightly. She’s fluent in sign language and is a quick study that adapted to each of our families needs and intricacies- without much/any direction. She always knows the right things to say and teach, and the girls just love her more than Mary Poppins. I really can’t recommend her highly enough if you’re looking for a sister-nanny to bring into your family to love and support your children (and you!)."
