Thank you for stopping by my page. My name is Samantha S., and I live in Marlboro, NY with my husband and cat, Razzles. I have lived in my home for 5 years, and I absolutely love the area. I grew up and graduated in Highland, NY, so I am a local person. My family has a swimming pool business in Highland, and we are a well established family in the community. I am 31 years old, and I am a NYS certified teacher in grades 1-6. I have my Masters Degree in Instruction, and I am more than willing to help your child with their homework. I am quite familiar with the common core as I have been a substitute in the local districts for the past 2 school years. I love teaching, but I am looking for something with a more steady income and schedule. With substituting, sometimes I don't know which school I will be in that day until 7 am, so it gets a little crazy. As we all know, there are not many teaching positions available locally. I am one that enjoys many hobbies as I love fun items. I make jewelry for fun, sell items on ebay, painting or re-making something into a new beautiful item, sewing, scrap booking, gardening, and photography. I love to cook, and most people tell me that I make delicious food. 3 I am extremely flexible with your needs; for instance, if you need me to do light housework, homework, laundry, pick up/drop off children from bus or activities, I am willing to cover all. To embellish on my profile, I am available 8-6 pm, if needed, but I prefer not to work nights. Also, I am willing to drive up to 45 minutes from my home to yours for childcare. I look forward to hearing from you.      Valid Driver's License: Yes  Has a Vehicle: Yes  Can Swim Well: Yes  Smoking Status: Non-Smoker  Comfortable with pets: Yes  Languages spoken: English, English    My Nationality: American  Background Check: Yes  Eligible to work in the U.S.: Yes  Civil Status: Married  Religion/Spiritual Practice: Christian        Work Experience & Education Background   3 years experience, 3 references I have been a substitute in the local school districts for the past 2 school years.
