About Samantha

Hello families, My name is Samantha. I have a bachelors in marine biology, masters in marine and environmental science, and two Florida teaching certifications in general sciences and biology. I have worked professionally in pediatric administration, as a teacher in elementary-high school (formal/informal), animal husbandry settings(fish aquariums, horses and livestock, sea-turtles, domestic pets)and as a marine and environmental education specialist. My passion is education, focusing on the environment. I have cared for hundreds of children as a teacher, dozens as a personal nanny and care giver, as well as my own children who are now off to college. I enjoy being involved in my community and love to give back in order to make a difference. I have volunteered in nursing homes, as a youth soccer coach, and was chapter manager for a mother's group with over 500 members. I am CPR certified, have a passport for travel, SCUBA certified and hope to hear from the perfect family.
