A little bit about me

Ever since I was about 9 years old, I’ve been babysitting. My mother had 3 little girls all about 10 months apart! Due to my mother being a single working mother, I had to step up and take responsibility for watching over the girls when mom wasn’t home. Now they’re like my children. Friends and family knowing I babysat my sisters asked me to babysit for them as well and it goes on from there! I am a very friendly, and hyper person. I get along with children greatly (animals too! so pets aren’t an issue). I hope this will prompt you to give me a call and get to know me a little better!

The safety of the child I care for are my number one.


Thank you,

Hi, I'm Samantha and I've been a nanny/tutor for the past 10 years. Most recently I worked full-time with twins from 7months old until they were 3 years old and started preschool. I occasionally would have their two older sisters as well so I can juggle a lot! I have experience with all ages. I am vaccinated and boosted and would prefer to work with a family that is too!

A little bit about me

Hello everyone! I’m twenty two years old, and I just graduated from the University of Colorado Boulder with a bachelor degree in psychology! I am planning on attending Point Loma in the fall to obtain my master’s in clinical counseling! I plan to become a children’s and family therapist with my degree!

Ever since I was young I have adored children of all ages. I began seriously babysitting in seventh grade. I have always been known through family friends to work well with children. I also have experience in studying developmental psychology which specializes in children. For this course, I ended up becoming a TA to my professor, because she recognized my passion for child psychology! I also worked at Kumon where I tutored many kids of all ages in reading and math for two years

Lastly, I have a car for transportation and my schedule is very flexible this summer! I hope you meet you all soon!

A little bit about me

A little bit about myself, I love food, I’ve also been vegan for 10 years. I don’t justice people what they eat so you are welcome to tell me what you kid can or can’t have 😊 I just come out of Nashville TN to San Diego to be with my girlfriend and her family. Spending time with kids to me bring me happiness. So babysitting is both a hard and relaxing job for me. I make sure to help them with reading book, taking bath, cleaning themselves and everything else under the sun. I’m not a smoker, drinker or take anything. I love staying healthy. I also love going to walk, go to the great out doors and enjoy life as it is. If you want to know more about me I be happy to be in a open talk in person or by call. I also have a lot of mothers and fathers that you can ask about myself.
