A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Samantha Lowe (Sammie). I am a first-year undergraduate student enrolled at the Gallatin School of Individualized Studies at New York University. The Gallatin School distinguishes itself by offering students the autonomy to explore many different areas of study, effectively crafting personalized majors. This program is perfect for my interests because I am able to study human rights, biology, environmental studies, and chemistry simultaneously.
Beyond academics, I've always been driven to work hard. I have been able to juggle multiple jobs alongside my studies. My love for interacting with people shows through in all of the jobs I have taken. I especially love kids! I also played varsity tennis and have swam competitively for the past 10 years so I am open to helping in that department as well.

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Drew (she/her)! I just graduated from Columbia University with my MS in public health and am looking to nanny or babysit this summer. Before moving to NYC, I was a nanny for three amazing kids, all under four years of age. I have been babysitting for ten years and love spending time with children. As a nanny, I would describe myself as energetic, patient, and mindful. I love seeking out fun, educational, and outdoor activities and am passionate about ensuring a safe and caring environment for every child under my care. I am CPR/first aid trained and would love to meet your family to see if I can meet your childcare needs!

Hello I have many years of professional and personal experience with children from infancy to young adult. I am educated with a BA degree. I am Infant/ Child CPR and First Aid certified. I have also aided in three childbirths.
Trust me with your children because I am respectful and very paranoid so I will watch your children very carefully. I am a licensed driver with no penalties on my license (knock on wood). I don't text when driving and I am a non-smoker. I am also older so I don't go on the internet.
