A little bit about me

My name is Samantha, but everyone calls me Sam. I am a 45-year-old mother to one spunky, sweet, smart 7-year-old daughter. I am also a writer (I have a Master of Arts in Journalism, 2006) and an educator (I have an M.A.T. in Special Education, 2010). I've spent much of the last several years first, as a caregiver to my ill father and then, as a stay-at-home mom to my daughter, Anne. I also worked as a freelance writer in that time.

Though I enjoyed staying home as a mom and writer, I am excited to work with children again. I've missed it more than I once realized. I enjoy watching my wards grow and flourish and guiding them along the way.

Prior to 2014, I worked as an education consultant, a teacher, a teacher's assistant, an ABA practitioner (doing therapy with children with Autism Spectrum Disorder), a nanny, and a childcare center worker.

I'm eager to meet you and your little one(s).

P.S., A couple of things, I love cats and dogs and am a bit of a neat freak.

Abijah H. - Seeking Work in Nashville

Full-Time Nanny Available in Nashville, TN: Abijah H.

I’m a caring and dependable Nanny and Family Manager who genuinely enjoys helping families feel supported, organized, and a little less overwhelmed in their everyday lives. My background includes childcare, family assistance, birth and postpartum doula support, as well as yoga, nutrition, and wellness, which have shaped my nurturing and whole-family approach to care. I love creating a warm environment where children feel safe, respected, encouraged to be independent, and free to be themselves. My experience serving in the U.S. Air Force has also strengthened my reliability, adaptability, attention to detail, and ability to stay calm and organized in busy situations. Most importantly, I strive to become a trusted extension of the family—someone parents can depend on and children can feel comfortable, supported, and happy with.
