Hello! We are Samantha and Joshua, the Owners of Twinkle Toes Nanny Agency Tampa.
We both grew up in Minnesota, but have always loved Florida and planned to someday live here. Once we met Kristy, we knew that owning a Twinkle Toes location would be the perfect fit for our backgrounds.
About Samantha:
I was an Elementary Education Teacher for over 10 years, while also nannying in the summers. I know the importance of building a strong relationship with both children and their parents. When I became a Mom myself, I learned that finding a trusting and reliable caregiver is difficult to find. I love that Twinkle Toes makes finding the perfect nanny an easy process for families!
About Joshua:
I was a business owner before Twinkle Toes and I’ve always believed in providing exceptional customer service. With having two children of our own, we understand what you are looking for and we are confident Twinkle Toes will exceed your expectations.
We are looking forward to working with you and your family!
-We graduated high school together but didn’t start dating until after college.
-We are both Vikings fans but we could be persuaded into being Bucs fans. (The Vikings curse is real!)
-We were both college athletes and still enjoy exercising in our free time.
Hi! I’m Tabina, Manager of Twinkle Toes Nanny Agency Tampa. Originally from Long Island, I moved to Tampa for college in 2018 and never left! As the oldest of four—including a brother who is 13—my passion for childcare started at home, but it truly became my career when I joined Twinkle Toes seven years ago.
I offer a unique perspective because I’ve experienced this industry from many angles. I spent three years as a nanny and two years as our recruiter while earning my degree in Elementary Education. After a rewarding chapter as a second-grade teacher, getting married, and welcoming my son in 2024, life came full circle. Becoming a mom drew me back to the Twinkle Toes family, where I now serve as Branch Manager. I know firsthand how vital reliable care is for a family’s well-being, and my goal is to make your search for an exceptional nanny seamless, stress-free, and full of peace of mind.
