I'm Samantha, a 29-year-old residing in Toronto. I am a dedicated mother to a vibrant 2-year-old and have accumulated over 11 years of childcare experience. I have obtained education in Justice, CPR and First Aid Training, amongst other certifications. Spending time with children, witnessing their growth, and contributing to this important phase of their lives is my passion. Being a mother myself, I genuinely understand the importance of having children surrounded by consistent and caring adults. I effectively ensure a supportive, fun, and nurturing environment where children feel safe and encouraged to learn. My active lifestyle makes it easy for me to keep up with energetic kids. A typical day with me involves healthy meals, plenty of physical activities, and a structured schedule that gives children the security they need. As part of my childcare approach, I incorporate routine around food and daily tasks to help children develop a healthier relationship with eating. I am available for work from 12pm to 6pm from Monday to Friday, and the whole day during weekends however, I am open to hours outside of what hours I’ve mentioned if needed. Just let me know what you need and I can try to work around it, I know how important flexibility is with childcare. My ideal job roles include being a Nanny, Nanny/Tutor, Mother's Helper, Babysitter, or Nanny/Housekeeper. I am open to both Full-Time and Part-Time positions, needing a Live-Out living arrangement. I am also open to caring for children in my own home where I have a play room set up, with lots of natural light. Whether it's cooking, light housekeeping, running errands, or helping with homework, I am eager and willing to fulfill these responsibilities to make your life easier. I am competent in handling newborns, toddlers, preschoolers, and kids over 10 years old. I am also experienced in working with children with disabilities and capable of managing a household of four or more children. My ideal working environment is one where open communication and mutual respect are valued. I don't smoke, and am more than willing to travel within the scope of my job. I am also proficient in English and Portuguese. Foremost, I am here to provide relief to busy parents by reducing their workload, freeing up their time, and contributing to a calm, tranquil home environment. I work meticulously to ensure that everything operates smoothly. Just give me a nod, and I am ready to step in wherever I am needed.

I’ve been caring for children since I was very young, helping with my many siblings, cousins, nieces, and nephews. At 16, I officially began working with children by volunteering at an orphanage in Guatemala, which deepened my passion for childcare. Since then, I’ve worked as a full-time nanny for three newborns through their early years, and I’ve also cared for multiple children at once—including a 1-year-old, 3-year-old, and 5-year-old simultaneously. I’m confident managing busy households and balancing the different needs of children across a wide age range. In recent years, my work has emphasized both housekeeping and nutrition, ensuring the home environment is safe, clean, and nourishing for children and their families. My duties have included: • Early mornings and late nights • Preparing nutritious breakfasts • Getting children ready and dropping them off at school • Household chores during school hours • Prepping lunches and dinners for the children and family • Helping with family events and gatherings • Accompanying children to extracurricular activities and ensuring punctuality • Managing laundry, dishes, and general tidiness • Reading with children and supporting homework/tutoring • Planning fun and educational games and activities • Supporting structure, routine, and positive habits in daily life I bring energy, warmth, and a calm presence into the homes I work in, always aiming to create a happy and balanced environment for both children and parents.
