About Sam

I've been caring for children since I was 13 years old. I began by babysitting children with ages varying from birth to middle school. I was also a camp counselor for some time, particularly with children ages 2-3. I was also a nanny for several years taking care of two toddlers. Taking care of children has made a real impression on me as a person, so much so that I decided to study developmental psychology in school. I think adults can learn a lot from kids as much as they can learn from us. I take a child led approach to my care giving, meaning I encourage kids to ask questions and help in decision making (as long as it's a situation where its appropriate for that.) I think it's important to involve them in every way possible. I'm a very patient person, and have worked with a variety of personality types. I also have experience caring for children on the autism spectrum, and children with behavioral disorders.
