About Samantha

I recently graduated from the University of Vermont and am relocating to St. George the first week of June. I have babysat for a decade, worked at a sleepaway camp for three summers, and been a nanny in both full and part-time capacities throughout college. Babies are my favorite and I do have experience with newborns, though I have the most familiarity with ages 6m-4y. I also have experience taking care of children with complex behaviors and special needs, namely autism and ADHD/ADD. I have up-to-date Red Cross Lifeguarding, CPR/AED, and Wilderness First Responder certifications. I love to teach kids how to swim, ski, and rock climb! My childcare ethos and style emphasizes consistency, firm yet fair boundaries, and healthy emotional connection. I have developed deep friendships with many of the parents who I've worked for, and I now consider them and their children family. I look forward to becoming a valuable asset and friend to a couple families in Southern Utah this summer!
