About Samantha

Experience: 4 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

Hi, I'm Sam! I have my Masters in Social Work, and I live in Waco, TX. I have cared for children my entire life whether it was family members or through Care. com! An aspect of my experience that stands out is my experience working with children who have survived trauma and children with severe disabilities as my younger brother has multiple disabilities. I am familiar with using in-home Liko lifts and vehicle lifts for transport, helping with medication management, administering medication and feeding via Mickey buttons, and using external catheters. I have worked in an elementary and middle school as a social worker, and I have nannied for several families from Care. com. I love having fun, being creative, and taking every opportunity to get kids active and explore their environment. Please reach out if you are seeking a responsible and reliable sitter/parent's helper!

We first got to know Sam when our 2nd was born (she's now over a year old) and we needed an extra set of hands in the house. We had an instant comfort level with her, and she didn't blink at any task we threw her way. She cared for baby, dealt with trying toddler, helped with our difficult, senior dog, she cleaned, cooked, tackled laundry, all while being a beacon of calm and practicality during a hectic time. She's now a regular part of the fabric, and is our first call when we need help. I can't say enough good things. Anyone lucky enough to get to know Sam is truly blessed.
