  About Me
 
Hi, my name is Sammie. I am a freshman at Calvin College. I am currently nannying part time for a family with four kids and I am looking for another part-time nannying job for the summer. I could start in May. I am also looking for occasional babysitting jobs. I have had seven years of experience babysitting and I worked two years in a day care. I love kids and they are my passion. I am not one of those babysitters who sits and watches the kids play. I like to be active with the kids. I will do anything from baking, art and crafts, sports, playing games and any other activities that the kids like to do. I am also willing to help with light housework, drive the kids to activities and run errands if needed. I am very flexible. If you are interested I would love to hear from you. I believe that a nanny/babysitter's job is to watch and play with the kids. I do not believe in putting the kids in front of the t. v. all of the time. I try to keep the kids active and entertained. I am willing to be as creative and active as the kids want. I try to come up with fun things to do with the kids. I never yell at the kids. I discipline the kids however the parents would like except that I will not do any physical discipline.
