My name is Samantha, and I grew up in a family of 4 kids. Being the oldest, I have had lots of experience with children in a full household. I am a huge people person and grew up watching my siblings when needed. My aunt also owns a dance studio so I started teaching the younger dancers there at around 14-15 years old. I loved getting to really bond with them to see their personalities come through. I am certified in CPR and also have my CNA licenses that I gained through DMACC. Regarding communication I believe in open communication and regular updates with parents, using their preferred lifestyle methods, to ensure a trusting relationship and a smooth exchange of information about their child's day or any concerns that arise. When it's time for fun and games, I love engaging children in outdoor sports and physical activities that promote healthy growth. I also enjoy incorporating educational games that stimulate their young minds.
