"Sam had been a nanny to my 4 year old son and 7 year old daughter for almost 3 years. Both children absolutely adore her as she is kind, caring, patient and lots of fun! She goes out of her way to make sure the kids enjoy their days with her, planning out loads of exciting and interesting things to do.
