Or, as my babies call me - "Nanny Sam."
I'm a dedicated, experienced nanny with over ten years caring for little ones - and the founder of Sleep & Safety Co. I'm compassionate and nurturing, and there's nothing I love more than helping children thrive and supporting the parents who love them.
From a small hometown to families around the world.
After completing my Certificate in Early Childhood Education, I was uncertain about my next steps. At 19, I made the decision to leave my hometown - which led to a decade working internationally as an au pair and then a nanny. That experience gave me invaluable insight into the care and development of young children, and inspired me to keep building my knowledge.
To build on that foundation, I worked in retail at leading baby stores in both New Zealand and Australia, completed additional training to become an accredited car seat installer, and earned my certification as an infant sleep consultant.
Throughout my career, my greatest passion has been building meaningful relationships with the babies and children in my care, and sharing what I've learned with new parents. My goal is to make what can be an overwhelming journey feel more manageable - and more positive.
Warm regards, Sam
"I believe children learn through play. I give them the space to be bored, then get creative - reading stories, singing songs, going on adventures. I don't pack their days with non-stop activities. I give them room to create their own fun, and I'm right there beside them to see what they can do."
Qualified, and always learning.
What families count on.
