Hi there, thanks for coming to check out my profile! My name is Samantha- I'm an early childhood specialist and advocate for children and families. With a degree in early childhood studies, graduate credits completed in education, and 20 years of experience in early childhood care and education, I bring a well-rounded understanding of families' needs and childhood development. As a mother myself, I understand the importance of trustworthy, reliable childcare. Caring for children is an incredible privilege that I never take for granted. Providing a high standard of care is my top priority. I currently offer infant & toddler care in my pet-free, smoke-free Greensburg home, Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. The space is cleaned daily with child safe products, and is appropriately baby proofed. My rates are affordable for families, and are negotiable depending on family needs. Please reach out if youd like to know more or are interested in meeting and seeing the care space.
We give Sam our highest recommendation! Sam was our nanny for almost four years and we were devastated when she moved to NY. Sam was been with us from January of 2013 after the birth of our third child until August of 2016. When she started, our three children were 3years, 2years and 12 weeks old. We then had one more baby and at the time she left she was responsible for all four, aged 6years, 5years, 3years and 6 months old. Sam's responsibilities included school drop off and pick up, feeding, organizing local activities (playground, museum visits, playdates, trips on the subway etc), nap scheduling, lunch and snack preparation, occasional bedtime routines and light housekeeping. Sam is responsible, reliable and competent. She handles everything from crying babies to toddler tantrums to preschooler drama in a calm, unfazed manner. She was able to manage four children with very different needs without issue and we trusted her completely. On a personal level, she is very easy to get along with and has a great sense of humor. Over her years with us, Sam truly became a part of our family. Our children loved her and waited at the window in the mornings for her arrival and hugged and kissed her goodbye every day. We were so sad she moved but wish her the best of luck. Her next family will be very lucky to have her! Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
