A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Samantha, and I’m a University of Florida graduate currently building my career in sales in Texas. Although I originally studied pediatric physical therapy, my passion for working with children has always remained strong. From 2016 to 2022, I ran a successful babysitting business caring for children of all ages. From 2024 to 2026, I worked as a nanny for two families in California, including Ella, a nonverbal girl with cerebral palsy and autism, and Jake, who has high-functioning autism. These experiences deepened my patience, creativity, and understanding of emotional regulation. I love incorporating gentle mindfulness practices like breathing exercises and simple yoga to help children feel calm and grounded. I enjoy outdoor adventures, nature walks, and creating a safe, nurturing environment where children feel seen, supported, and encouraged to grow.

"Sam was a pleasure to have as a nanny and my kids absolutely loved her. She’s got such a bright and warm personality that you’ll notice immediately. She was very accommodating to mine and my wife’s busy work schedules and is great at communicating. She’s responsible and serious, but is still a kid at heart, which allowed to her to connect and be friends with our kids, while we still felt our kids were safe with her. She’d be a great nanny anywhere!"

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny is creating a safe, nurturing, and emotionally supportive environment where children feel seen, heard, and secure. I prioritize consistency, patience, and clear communication so children can thrive both emotionally and developmentally. My goal is to build trust with both the child and parents while supporting healthy routines, learning, and positive behavior.

My experience with special needs children...

I have cared for children with physical and intellectual disabilities with most of my experience being from working with children with autism and Down Syndrome.
