Hi! I'm Sam. :) I have over 20 years of experience working with children. My childcare journey began as a teenage babysitter for family friends and later grew to include working for a nanny agency in San Francisco, living and working as an au pair in Spain, teaching preschool, and holding full-time nanny positions for families with multiple children, including twins and triplets, throughout my twenties. I have experience caring for all ages, infants through elementary-aged children, and have worked in both general and special education classrooms. I hold a Multiple Subject Teaching Credential and a Master of Arts in Teaching from the USF and have been a second grade teacher since Fall 2018. I pride myself in bringing a calm, organized, and warm approach to caregiving and enjoy creating a safe, engaging, and supportive environment where children feel comfortable and confident being themselves and exploring the world around them.
Sam is amazing. We were on vacation and wanted to do something the kids couldn't do. Sam came and watched my son who's 4 and my nephew witch is 6 and they loved her. I will definitely have her again when we visit next.
