Hello! I am currently a full time student with plans to further my education into becoming a Speech Language Pathologist. I have had experience working in school districts as a one on one special needs paraprofessional as well as leading lessons with mini groups of students who are intellectually disabled. Working with children who have special needs has always been a great passion of mine. With that being said, I also have experience working with families and children on the spectrum as well as being an advocate for families with special needs. It is important for me to let families know that I am family oriented and would enjoy helping out in more ways than just nannying! Aside from school and work, I enjoy baking in my free time as well as seeing live theater and musicals in the local Milwaukee area. I was also recently diagnosed with Bell's Palsy - however, that has not stopped me from smiling and exchanging laughter.
I can't recommend Samantha enough. She's watched my children multiple times, including alongside our dog, and every single time I've come home to happy kids and a calm house. What stands out most is how naturally kids open up to her. She has a warm, welcoming personality that puts even shy or anxious kids at ease right away. She's also worked with respite care for neurodivergent children, and it shows. She's patient, attentive to individual needs, and never one-size-fits-all in her approach. She truly meets each child where they are. She always comes prepared with age-appropriate activities, so there's never a moment of "I'm bored." Whether it's a toddler, a school-age kid, or a mix of ages and personalities, she adjusts effortlessly and keeps everyone engaged. She's also a great cook and takes care of mealtimes without me having to think twice about it. Reliability is another huge plus! She's always on time and incredibly flexible, even with last-minute requests or when I've needed to run late. She sends check-ins with updates while she's watching the kids, so I'm never left wondering how things are going. And she is first aid and CPR, which gives real peace of mind. On top of all that, she always leaves the house tidy and is trustworthy with both my kids and my pets. If you're looking for a sitter who genuinely connects with children, handles a range of needs with confidence, and treats your home with respect, Samantha is exactly who you are looking for.
