About Sam

Experience: 10 yrs

Hi, I'm Sam - a painter, writer, and experienced nanny based in Long Beach. As the eldest of six kids, I've been caring for little ones for over 15 years, from infants to school-age children. Families describe me as calm, dependable, and deeply present - I meet kids where they are and help them feel safe, curious, and seen. I bring creativity and structure in equal measure - whether that's sensory art play, nature walks, or quiet story time. I'm CPR-certified, COVID-vaccinated, and take pride in creating peaceful, nurturing environments where kids (and parents) can thrive. Available M-F mornings and weekends for date nights. Happy to help with dishes, laundry, errands and general house pick up. Experienced with infants, neurodivergent children, and creative play-based learning. "A true gem - incredibly dependable, trustworthy, and loved by our children." - Karen L.

From the moment we met, Sam connected with our then one year old son in a special way which we soon learned was reflective of their super powers with both our sons, and us as a family. They blend an ability to see the kids where they are, understand them in meaningful ways and balance that with being able to say and do things which garner respect and adoration from our children. Incredibly dependable and trustworthy, we never have to worry about the safety or happiness of our kids while in Sam’s care. A true gem, I’m forever grateful for Sam’s presence in our lives.
