About me

I am a great team player, but also more than capable of being a leader and working alone. I have exceptional time keeping. I'm also hard-working and willing to learn - I love working with kids!

An Ofsted registered Childminder, with over 8 years of experience, Samantha has a NVQ Level 3, Ofsted Early Years Register, CACHE Level 3 Diploma in Home-base Childcare, CACHE Level 3 NVQ in Children’s Care, Learning and Development, Food Hygiene and other qualifications.

She's very, very reliable.  I've known hereight years ago and she's been childminding all that time.  I would trust her with my life.  She's fantastic with kids.  They love her to bits.  She does a lot of children's group and activities.  She's absolutely brilliant, I'd definitely recommend her.

I met her back in my son's playgroup.  She connected immediately with him and so I picked her out of the other childminders right away.  She'a nice person, reliable, good with the routine and with activities - she takes him out to parks, libraries, farms and museums.  She's also prepared healthy foods for him.  She's used to going to two or three playgroups a week, but she's always my first choice for babysitting.  I'd definitely recommend her.

“Samantha was very friendly and warm. Our baby boy warmed to her very quickly and she was great settling him to bed. Unfortunately, he was ill the next morning he woke up as I truly didn't expect a babysitter to leave the window open in a nursery for the night, considering the temperature dropped to very low. When I arrived back home, he was completely cold through and I was very worried. It is common sense to check the temperature in nursery and make a judgement call before putting a baby down.

-- We are really sorry to hear that. We will provide this feedback to the Sitter and we hope your boy makes a swift recovery. - the KidSitter Team

“Samantha was an instant hit with my 3.5yr old son. She was a great communicator and when I got home she was engaged in conversation over a Lego construction with my son. I felt confident leaving my son in her care and would highly recommend her.”
