About Sam

Experience: 10 yrs

Hello! I'm Sam, a painter and writer living in Long Beach. I grew up as the eldest of 6 kids and was a built-in nanny for my first responder parents. I became an official paid babysitter when I was 13 and I've been a nanny on and off for the last 15 years. I love working with kids because I've found they keep me present, grounded and connected to the things that are most important in life. As an artist I'm always looking for the *realness* of life and nothing is more real than babies and children learning about the world. It's an honor to witness and support their development and in turn it feeds my spirit to know I'm doing something worthwhile.

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.
