A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Samantha and I have many years of unpaid and paid experience with childcare. I grew up an older sister and when I was 15, my dad remarried, and I gained a perfect 2 year old sister. Because both my dad and step-mom worked, I have been taking care of my younger sister for years. I have looked after her, my three year old brother, and my three and seven year old cousins for their whole lives, usually all at once. I am very well versed in children’s needs and how they function. I also was a behavioral therapist for young children with autism for a period of time. Although this technically wasn’t a childcare program, I gained very valuable experience with caring for and working with children who are unrelated to me. School is always my number-one priority but of course, I am very passionate about working with children. In fact, I am going to school to become a teacher and hopefully help educate the next generation.

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Clarina and I am a fun, caring 27 year old. I love interacting with children of all ages and enjoy watching them grow. It is my top priority to make your child feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand the great influence that caregivers have on children and I do my best to be an excellent example to them by communicating and treating them with respect. I bring a nurturing spirit and find great value in using encouraging and kind words around all my children. I have been with my current nanny family for 3.5 years (she is now 4) but is in school full time so starting to look for another family that I can love on and grow with.
