About Samantha

Seeking part time or drop-in childcare? Contact me about our small ratio, individualized care options! I am a certified educator with 10 years of experience teaching kindergarten and special education! I enjoy working with children because of their enthusiasm and curiosity. Children are naturally empathetic and want to do well if they're taught how! My time as an educator has been rich in wonderful opportunities to learn alongside my students and witness their creativity. I began working with children when I was 14 years old. I began babysitting, then spent my college summers in California nannying my twin cousins. During my undergraduate years, I also worked as a summer camp counselor and early childhood caregiver in a childcare center. After college, I spent time teaching abroad in Ireland and Taiwan. My skills include building trusting relationships with children, teaching/reinforcing social-emotional and communication skills, and providing a loving, structured environment.
