A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Sam Allison and I'm currently majoring in Early Childhood Education at Arizona State University. I've been working with kids for years through babysitting, after school programs, and my internships in elementary classrooms. I truly just love being around children of all ages.

Working with children has always been my passion. I love getting to be part of their world whether that's playing outside, doing crafts, going on fun adventures, or just hanging out at home and making it fun. I have a clean driving record, IVP finger print card, cpr certificate, tutoring skills, and I'm very patient and caring.

I'm looking for a full time nanny position this summer (May-August) and would love to support a family and their children. I'd be happy to set up a Zoom call to connect and answer any questions!

A little bit about me

I am 20 years old from a small town in New Hampshire. I will be going into my junior year studying art therapy at Westmont college. I’ve worked as a nanny for families in my town, as well as for my brother’s children. I also have life guarded for 2 years, and am confident in my first aid/CPR skills. I am extremely creative & physically active and love finding ways to encourage children to be as well. Studying art therapy has given me a good basic understanding of children’s psychology, as well as many creative tools/ideas for learning by using crafts and the surrounding environment. I am patient, kind, inclusive and understanding and consider it an honor to display these characteristics to children.
