Samantha's Bio

I have been working with kids as a babysitter since preadolescence and formally began working and volunteering at age 14. The past eight years of formal experience have included volunteering at several preschools and programs for children with special needs (ages 0-3), interning at a full-service early intervention preschool with 1-2-year-olds, and doing my senior year college internship for college at Florida's early intervention system that offers services to children with developmental disabilities and delays ages 0-3.
I absolutely love working with kids, and have always felt a connection to kids with special needs. I get a lot of joy out of the work I do, and look forward to becoming an occupational therapist in the future, either with babies in the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) or with 0-3-year-olds with special needs.
I was certified in First Aid, CPR/AED-Child, and the use of Epi-pens last summer, and I will taking an refresher class in a few weeks.
For me, working with kids is so rewarding, especially watching how quickly they are able to pick up on things and learn. I enjoy being a part of their learning and development, and helping to facilitate it!
