About Samantha

I'm a credentialed teacher with a Master's degree in Education from the University of Notre Dame and over 10 years of experience working with children from elementary through high school. I also run my own tutoring and executive function coaching business here in the Bay Area, where I regularly supervise children between sessions. My classroom and coaching background means I bring structure, patience, and a calm presence to every family I work with. I'm comfortable with all ages, including infants, and I've cared for a 5-month-old in a recurring role. I'm looking for part-time babysitting on Fridays and Tuesday/Wednesday mornings, and I'm a great fit for families who need regular weekly help, backup care, or coverage on their nanny's day off. Expect reading, outdoor play, and a consistent, kid-centered routine. References available!
