About Me
Hi, I’m Sammie! I’m 33, originally from West London but now happily living in Ware, Hertfordshire with my two beautiful daughters, Olivia and Grace (a.k.a. my built-in inspiration team).
I’ve always had a passion for working with children—my “career” actually started as the go-to babysitter and fun aunty from a young age. That early love led me to complete my NVQ in Childcare and Education, which opened the door to nursery work, private babysitting, and even some pretty exciting adventures abroad. One highlight was being flown out to Switzerland for two weeks to help with childcare (turns out, my skills travel well!).
I then became a private nanny for several years before taking on the incredible experience of Camp America in Michigan. There, I worked as a nanny for the camp directors and as a camp counselor, where I quickly learned that 8 a.m. singalongs on tables are perfectly normal—and actually the best way to start the day. That summer taught me so much about myself and reinforced how much I thrive in upbeat, spontaneous, and fun environments.
Back home, life brought me the joy of raising my own family while working full time in admin for our family business. But I always felt like something was missing. Hosting my daughters’ birthday parties, I’d often get told, “You should really do this for a living!”—so, I decided to take the leap.
Now, I run my own children’s entertainment company, where every weekend I get to make birthdays magical, keep kids smiling, and give parents a little breather too. For me, it’s not just about balloons and games—it’s about creating memories children (and their families) will never forget.
Have a little peek below at some of the moments that inspired me to start Party With Sammie.
