Activity summary
Experienced & Compassionate Babysitter | Special Needs Friendly
Hi, I’m Sami! Caring for children has always been a big part of my life, and with over 15 years of experience, I can confidently say it’s something I truly love. From babysitting throughout high school and college, I’ve had the joy of helping children learn, grow, and have fun in a safe and nurturing environment.
My passion for childcare deepened when my youngest brother was diagnosed with Autism at age two. Growing up, I worked closely with him and his therapists, gaining hands-on experience in supporting children with diverse needs. This, along with my degree in Psychology from San Diego State University, has given me a unique understanding of child development, behavior, and learning differences.
Whether it’s engaging in creative play, helping with homework, or providing extra support for children with special needs, I bring patience, warmth, and a whole lot of enthusiasm to every family I work with. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your little ones and provide them with the best care possible!

Hi, I’m Sami!
I have over 15 years of experience caring for children, starting as a babysitter throughout high school and college. Now, as a business owner, I have some extra time and would love to continue working with families in need of a reliable and compassionate caregiver.
I graduated from San Diego State University with a degree in Psychology, which has given me a strong foundation in child development and behavior.

In addition to babysitting, I’ve worked extensively with children who have learning disabilities, providing patience, understanding, and tailored support to help them thrive. I genuinely love children and having the opportunity to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for every child in my care.
