About Samantha

My 15 years of experience caring for children aged 0-18 have solidified my passion for helping others. I have a degree in psychology from Marquette University with a minor in Spanish for the Health Professions. For the past 10 years, I have been working 1:1 with children (& their families) who have cognitive/mental health diagnoses, helping them navigate their big emotions, processing different stressors and helping them become more confident in all aspects of their life. I prioritize rapport building and find it to be a crucial part of what I do. I am patient, creative, and approachable, and I enjoy playing board games, puzzles, and educational games with children. I am also comfortable enforcing household rules and will always follow your preferred communication method, whether it's written reports or regular updates. I also speak Spanish. I have a car and am comfortable with pets. I would love to learn more about your family and how I can help your children thrive.
