Hi, I’m Sam 👋 The face behind TinyTalk Erewash, and the person usually found with a teddy bear close by! 🧸💛
I’m a mum to my two beautiful daughters, aged 10 and 14, I’m also a solo parent, so I truly understand the joys, challenges and beautifully chaotic moments that family life can bring. I decided to become a TinyTalk teacher when my youngest was just three months old, which means that this September I’ll be celebrating 10 years of teaching baby signing! 🥰
Before TinyTalk, I spent around 10 years working in private nurseries as a qualified nursery nurse, including as a nursery manager and baby room manager. Babies have always had a very special place in my heart, and nothing brings me more joy than watching little ones grow, develop and discover the world around them.
I’m also BSL Level 2 qualified and a trained children’s sleep consultant, so alongside our signing and singing, I’m always happy to share a listening ear, advice or a few helpful tips during social time at class. I’ve experienced plenty of parenting adventures myself too — including an unexpected home birth with my second daughter! 😅
When I’m not teaching, you’ll usually find me crocheting, gardening, enjoying a trip to the cinema, spending time with my girls or making happy memories on a beach trip. 🌿🧶🎬🏖️
I’m not just your TinyTalk teacher — I’m a mum who has been through many of the same stages, questions, worries and wonderful moments that you may be experiencing right now. And I feel incredibly lucky to be able to share a little part of your parenting journey with you. 💛
