About Me

Hi,
My name is Samantha Theron, I am from South Africa and have been living in the UK for 13 years. I am a friendly and patient person, love the outdoors, cooking, baking and being creative.

My Experience

Before moving to the UK I was a pre-school and after school care teacher for children aged between 2-12 year olds. In addition to the teaching position, I was a live in au pair for a new born and two teenage boys. I then moved to the UK and took on a live out au pair position for two 10 month olds. I started childminding in 2017 and absolutely love it. It is extremely rewarding seeing the children I look after, learn, grow and create their own little personalities.

My Qualifications

I have a level 3 in Home based child care, paediatric first aid and safe guarding.

We feel so incredibly lucky to have had Sam as our Childminder. She looked after our son from 10months-2yrs old, and in that time he has always been so happy and excited to go into her care.
We love that Sam’s always out and about with the children, be it the beach or the farm, the park or the zoo; her setting at home is so lovely for the children too. Another amazing quality about Sam is her flexibility and has always helped us out and gone above and beyond when we’ve needed the extra help, which we are extremely grateful for!

Thank you so much 😘😘

Sam looked after my two daughters aged 2 and 3 years old.
My daughter's got very excited when they saw Sam and looked forward to playing.
Sam has lots of toys and encourages educational play, sharing! and good manners.
Sam is excellent at crafts and baking and we received lots of lovely pictures and some delicious cakes and sweets which she made with my daughter's.
Sam is a very warm, easy going, trustworthy, friendly, genuine and lovely lady who is lots of fun and easy to get along with.
I knew the second I spoke to Sam on the phone, let alone meeting her she was going to be perfect.
I cannot reccomend Sam highly enough.
Unfortunately we have now moved out of area and the girls miss Sam.
Thank to Sam for taking such excellent care of my daughter's.
