Hi there! I have been working with children in some capacity since I was a teenager. My first job as a teen was babysitting neighborhood kids, and I continued to nanny and babysit throughout college. I transitioned into Early Childhood Education for 3 years and taught preschool and kindergarten aged kids at a Montessori school. Children are such a valuable and important part of our community, I find it to be meaningful to be a part of their growth and nurturing. I also love that being around children allows me to goof around and tap into the child version of myself!
Samia is gentle, attentive, and wonderful with our 6 week old baby. We always leave the house feeling completely confident that our little boy is in great hands. Every time we return, he is happy, content, and well cared for. Thank you, Samia, for giving us such peace of mind.
