About Samantha

Hi! I've been a preschool teacher at Mountain Sprouts here in Bozeman for the last 7 years. I loved this chapter of my life, but I'm now stepping away from teaching to pursue my masters in counseling (clinical and school). When I got my bachelors degree in early childhood development, I thought this would be the end of my time in academia. Seeing as I'm begin my school counseling internship, I was clearly mistaken! I love working with all ages and am especially experienced with infants and toddlers. I value quality connections based on unconditional positive regard and believe children deserve consistency, opportunities for autonomy and supported growth. I'm mostly interested in date night sitting and weekend work! I do have some flexibility during the week so please reach out if your needs fall outside this window. I hope we get to work together! *references available on request* *I am fully vaccinated and get my yearly flu and covid shots*
