More About Me
Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...
Currently, I care for a wonderful 1.5-year-old. Stimulation is consistently guided through age-appropriate play and activities, time spent outdoors, and positive affirmations and attention. I keep a familiar routine for feed/nap/play. I have excelled in basic infant care such as diaper changing, burping, swaddling, cooing, feeding, bathing, and milestone celebrations. I also like to focus on the mental, physical, emotional, and psychological well-being of a child/person. I keep a daily log and journal of my routine, have no screen time, and want to take many courses to learn more about childcare development.
Activities I enjoy doing with children...
I like to play games that we can learn from each other. I, of course, love to draw and can teach drawing and painting skills. We go to parks, zoos, museums - really anything to keep ourselves busy. Playing games, doing homework, and making learning exciting. Build a fort, play dress up or cook together. It really depends on the age and what the child is interested in.
The most important part about being a nanny...
Health, knowledge, and communication are priorities.
My experience with special needs children...
I taught/tutored a boy with autism when the pandemic first started when in-person school was not an option. I am patient, kind, and warm-hearted, and we got along really well.
The most important part about being a nanny...
The first time the baby I worked with said her name. So exciting. Every moment with her is a delight.

Full-Time Child Care Provider Available in Ames, IA: Samantha M.
I love children. I babysit my younger sisters all the time and when my cousins were younger I babysat them as well. I am always one of the people who get put in charge or the little ones at family events and other events as well. Kids seem to like me, maybe that is because like most little kids I love Disney and cartoons. I also love to be outside and play games. I have never been a real "nanny" before but I have done my fair share of babysitting and I have worked in the customer service industry for years. I just graduated college with a four year degree in Biology. I was also involved with many different things on campus such as: Student government, Student union board, I was a resident hall adviser, a teacher assistant, a chemistry tutor, a student ambassador, and I played softball for all four years. I can speak some Spanish, as I took four years in high school, however I am not fluent in it. I am flexible with availability.
