A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Samantha, and I am a current Masters of Nursing student looking to babysit a bit the next few weeks while I have some time off between semesters.

I am 27, currently work as a nurse (with previous school nurse experience), am cpr certified, and fully vaccinated. Ive worked with kiddos w/ various behavioral and developmental disorders from infancy to middle school aged, and was previously a nanny before becoming a nurse. Have a car and willing to commute for some date nights✨! I drive all over the city seeing patients in their homes, so I am really comfortable navigating any neighborhood.

I’m an active gal w/ a calm and caring demeanor but love my downtime, too. I’m confident whatever your kiddos needs are, I can meet them!

Please message for more details :)
