About Sammy

Hi, I'm Sammy! I'm a graduate of the University of Minnesota (go gophs!), with degrees in political science and journalism. I love to read, watch movies, swim, be outdoors and discover new ice cream/coffee spots. I have always enjoyed working with kids, and have previous experience as a nanny and as a casual babysitter. As a nanny, I watched two girls, starting when they were 8 and 9, for two summers. The younger girl, S, has Down Syndrome, but I quickly found that she was not going to let anything stop her from doing what she loved (which was going to musical theatre camp, learning to read, and singing songs from Barbie Princess and the Popstar at the top of her lungs). I was also L's (5 y/o) nanny/babysitter for approx. nine months before Covid struck (we still keep in contact!). As a babysitter, I watched kids from a variety of ages, from 6 months to 15 years old, and enjoyed my time with all of them!
