About Samantha

Hi, I'm Samantha! Raised in Lake Forest, IL, I know the community and school systems well. As the oldest of my siblings, I naturally took on a caregiving role early. Throughout high school and college, I spent six years as a full-time babysitter, caring for children of all ages! I'm patient, calm, and imaginative. With a background in the Arts from the University of Colorado Boulder, I love using crafts and hands-on activities to help kids learn, explore, and have fun while keeping screen time minimal. I'm happy to help with carpooling, cooking, light housekeeping, and travel. After five years of living in Hawaii, I'm excited to be back home and looking for a flexible position where I can build meaningful connections. I'm CPR and First Aid trained, communicate clearly, and adapt to each family's style. I'm available seven days a week with flexible scheduling and am always transparent about my availability.
