About me
As the oldest child of my family I have always been familiar with childcare. I was very active in raising my siblings and helping out extended family members with babysitting. This has in turn made me someone who is empathetic, attentive and responsible. I took this part of me and decided to pursue psychology which has helped me understand child development further. I enjoy working with kids as it makes me happy to care for them and be a positive role model.

- I currently babysit my 2 cousins. I have been looking after them weekly for about 4 years.

Qualifications and experience

Samsam has helped to look after my children over a period of a couple of years. She is quite bubbly, but down-to-earth. She is dependable, trustworthy, and she is able to attend at short notice. She has done the school run, made meals etc. She has helped a lot during the holiday period. I don't have any safeguarding concerns at all about her, Anyone who works with her would be considered lucky. I have nothing but high praise for Samsam.
I've known Samsam since she started university, so about 3 years ago. Samsam looked after our 7 year old (now 10) and 10 year old (now 13). She is really, really reliable. She catered to their needs really well, and she helped out a lot. She was really adaptable to mum and dad's schedule, and eventually she moved from school days to weekend babysitting. She was really good at communicating too, in multiple languages. Eventually we became good friends. She's just a really nice person.
