Hi! My name is Samara. I'm an experienced caregiver who genuinely loves working with children of all ages. I'm currently completing 12 ECE units and have hands-on experience in multiple childcare settings - from being a daycare/preschool teacher to supporting students in K-5 after-school programs. I'm patient, reliable, and great at keeping kids engaged through creative play, learning activities, and consistent routines. I always prioritize safety while creating a comfortable, caring fun environment where children can learn and grow. I'd love the opportunity to support your family!
Finding someone who can truly connect with a pre-teen and young teen isn’t easy, and we were incredibly fortunate to have our Samara during my son’s 9–14-year-old years. She handled that stage—growing independence, big emotions, and shifting needs—with patience, insight, and genuine care. She met him where he was, respecting his independence while still providing guidance and structure. She built a strong sense of trust with him, and he truly enjoyed spending time with her—which says everything at that age. More than just supervising, she was a steady, positive influence—supportive, nonjudgmental, and fully present. We’re so grateful for the role she played during such an important chapter of his life. Any family would be lucky to have her.
