About Samantha

Experience: 10 yrs

I am a fourth year medical student and am looking for work. I would love to get you know you and your family! I love kids and have had a variety of experiences caring for them including newborns, bedtime, and overnights! I have 8 nieces and nephews (1 - 16 y/o) whom I have been babysitting since I was 12 years old. Professionally, I babysat local kids as well as coached and refereed youth sports through high school and college. For three years during undergrad, I was a nanny for a family with three young children. After that, I was a research assistant and provided before school care for a 7-year-old boy as well as evening care for a 4-year-old boy with ASD. In medical school I spent a year as the nursery director for a local church and regularly babysat for a family with two kids ages 3 and 6 for the past three years. Additionally I have helped a transports teens/older kids, and babysat newborns and young toddlers. I have experience babysitting overnight as well as long weekends!

I had a great experience working with Samantha. I hired her to watch my 5 month old while visiting Asbury Park from out of town. While my child was sleeping during the duration of her stay, she was punctual, a great communicator, reliable and genuinely seemed to enjoy children. I also spoke to her reference who had only great things to say about her. I would happy use her again when we're in town and would definitely recommend her to others.
