Professional House Manager | Experienced Career Nanny | Occasional Babysitting | Pet Sitter 

I am currently a full-time House Manager serving a wonderful family and am available for occasional babysitting. As a House Manager, my role extends beyond childcare to include household organization, scheduling, errands, meal preparation, and keeping the home running smoothly. This experience has strengthened my ability to anticipate families' needs and provide dependable, high-quality support.

I have extensive experience with newborns through teens, early childhood education training, and a background supporting neurodivergent children/ special needs. I strive to create a calm, engaging environment where children feel safe, valued, and have fun.

Whether you're planning a date night, need backup care, or simply want a few hours to recharge, I'd love to help. I serve families throughout Columbus and the surrounding areas and have no issues accessing Fort Benning for on-base families.

We booked Samantha to watch our children (2 years old and 8-months old) while we were in town for a wedding. I was so impressed with her just from our meet-and-greet over the phone. She was incredibly professional and clearly had loads of experience with kids. The morning of the wedding, Samantha fell ill. She had a backup sitter ready to go even before she reached out to let me know she wasn’t going to be able to make it. She coordinated everything with her colleague and was in constant communication with us while we were at the wedding even while feeling so sick herself! Her backup sitter was so lovely and my children adored her. I would happily use Samantha or any sitters she recommended in the future!

Samantha is an excellent caregiver! Our daughters always look forward to mom and dad date nights because of Samantha! She always brings crafts and games for the girls. Samantha is also extremely skilled at caring for our daughter with special needs; we appreciate her dedication to providing excellent care for our children. I would recommend her caregiving services to anyone who needs childcare.

We used Samantha multiple times after giving birth to my son. It was a period of transition for my family- as we were preparing for a cross-country relocation. She was a pillar of strength and reliability for me during such a chaotic time - and I am incredibly grateful to her. She is simply magical with children, and a blessing to a mother. Highly recommend her professional service. 

Samantha is incredible! I am a first time mom and I felt so comfortable leaving my baby in her care. She always sends pictures, gives updates, and treats him like her own. Whenever she comes to the house he gets so excited because he knows he’s about to have so much fun. 10/10 recommend her!! 

Samantha is amazing! I highly recommend her! She watched our infant for us for a night out and she was very impressive. On time , great communication, and we just loved her! 

"I can’t say enough good things about Samantha. She has been an absolute lifesaver for our family! My 4-year-old son always looks forward to spending time with her, and I feel confident knowing he’s in good hands. Samantha is patient, reliable, and knows how to keep him engaged with fun activities while also being caring and attentive to his needs. I really appreciate her professionalism and ability to create a safe, nurturing environment. I highly recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring babysitter!"

Samantha recently took care of my 7 month old and it was apparent that she was an experienced and excellent caregiver. My baby has only ever co-slept and Sam was happy to contact nap/baby wear with her. She understood what my baby needed and my daughter warmed up to her so fast! Sam brought developmentally appropriate activities for my daughter and sent me lots of updates. She was very communicative and professional. Could not recommend her more! 

Samantha goes above and beyond for my 4 girls each and every time! She has also taken care of all of our animals when we’ve stepped away for long weekends. She brings so much for the kids to do and our girls LOVE HER! She’s able to understand the needs of my nonverbal child and makes me feel at ease anytime I want to step away for a little me time. Very highly encouraged to book Samantha for all of your needs! 

Samantha has been a true blessing to us. Finding someone you trust with your babies is no easy task. I’m a first time mom and a military wife with no family nearby to help when we need a little us time. When I contacted Samantha, I immediately felt like she understood the importance of vetting a trustworthy sitter. She provided a background investigation, references and even encouraged nanny cams to ease my mind. She has been thoroughly professional and takes her job seriously. She truly loves the kids and likewise, they love her! We are so grateful for her and the service she provides! I highly recommend.

Samantha is truly an expert caregiver! Her professionalism and communication exceeded my expectations. She took the time to meet me and my dog before our scheduled boarding, asked lots of questions and took note of my pup's needs, and even gave me some tips on items to help her be more comfortable away from home. She communicated with us consistently during my pup's stay, and I had no doubt that she was giving her all the love and attention she's accustomed to getting! She'll be our go-to for boarding and I highly recommend her services!

Samantha is outstanding. She has really impressed me with her communication and professionalism. When she watches my child, she goes above and beyond by bringing crafts and activities. Most importantly, I know my child is safe with her. I'd highly recommend Samantha. 

Samantha did an amazing job with my 2 and 6yo girls. She fed them and kept them entertained for hours. Highly recommend. 

Finding Samantha was such a blessing! She took the time to figure out what our kids like and came prepared with activities. The kids loved her and she kept us updated with pictures and videos the entire evening. She will always be our top choice for date night babysitter! 

She's so sweet! Very accommodating! My kids LOVE when she comes. She's very engaging with my kids and always does fun things with them. Punctual and so sweet! We love Samantha!

If I could take Samantha with me everywhere we move, I would. I was nervous about finding a babysitter in a new area but after night one my son was asking for his new friend to come back over. I don't know who is more excited to see her when she comes, him or our dog. I could not feel more comfortable leaving my son with anyone else. She brings crafts to do and communication couldn't be better. Highly recommend to watch your kids or furry family! 

Samantha is a kind and patient woman who is nice and nurturing with all children. She goes above and beyond to make sure that all of my son’s needs are met and does so with a gentle ease to assure that he feels calm and secure as much as possible. She knows how to make my son feel safe when I am gone and is always in proper care when I return. She is well versed in the knowledge of being a caretaker and I trust her to feed, clothe, bathe, and care for my son as I would so myself. 
She is reliable on date nights and flexible to making sure mom’s wishes are put first. She is respectful of any wishes I had and ensured that I felt heard and as comfortable as i could be. 

Samantha is a caretaker that I will continue to prioritize and try to have availability with first. From a single date night babysitter to a full-time nanny, I am positive that she excels in either position that you may be searching for.

She is also friendly, educated and experienced in gentle parenting which sets her aside from many others. She will make a calm and peaceful, safe environment for your child to live and love to be in. 

Samantha is the BEST care giver I have ever had for my children. I had never left my medically needy child with anyone before, and she was VERY receptive in being hands on in his needs to make sure he was cared for but also that I was comfortable with everything. 
He is a diabetic and we couldn't find ANYONE or ANY DAYCARE willing to even learn what he needed. Not only did she take on the challenge (and over paranoid mom), she researched about it, she kept on hands things to make his life easier and made sure he was always safe in her care.

She wasn't the type to just 'baby sit' my children. They came home with crafts, learning how to read and write, projects and more. 

I really cannot say enough good things about her. She was our sitter for almost 2 years. And only not because we moved.

Samantha has a really big heart. She's always been kind to everyone. Samantha would like to go above and beyond and things need to be done.

Great with kids. Gave special care to the younger ones. Lots of patience, positivity and warmth. Very nurturing.
