Samantha Nelson
Elementary Assistant & P. E. Teacher

I was born in Cleveland, Ohio and reared in Southern California. I moved to Boise in 1993. I was here visiting an old friend, and fell in love with the area. Knowing we did not want to rear children in L. A., my husband and I moved here within a month.

I received my Early Childhood Education Certificate from Los Angeles Valley College in 1988. I began my ECE experience with 3 and 4 year olds. I was soon recruited to work with Pre-Kindergarten children. This was a challenging experience at which I spent many years, thoroughly enjoying every minute.

I have 3 children of my own: Sadie, Devin, and Sabryna. After Sabryna was born, my husband and I decided that I would stay home with her and her school age siblings. This has been an experience of a lifetime. I worked with Sabryna and her friend, to get them ready for kindergarten. I am please to say she is spreading her wings and flying on her own beautifully. I am very proud of all my children and their accomplishments.

I enjoy working at Rose Hill and spending time with your children. While I’m getting out of the house and working I also feel like I’m still at home with children.

On my free time I enjoy spending time with my husband, reading, roller-skating with my children, gardening and just hanging out with my family.
