Hi there families. My name is Susan and I have been a nanny for well over 15 years. I was born and raised in Wheeling WV and I'm one of two children (twins). I have always had an affinity for children and animals and decided long ago that it was what I wanted to do for a living.
The first family I ever worked for had 7 children ages 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 10. I was a live in Mother's Helper and took care of the children in all aspects as well as some house cleaning and cooking.
My second family hired me sight unseen after interviewing over the phone for a soon to be second grader and fifth grader. I moved from Wheeling WV to Larchmont NY and stayed with them for a little over 4 years. I am still in touch with them today. They have both grown into fine young adults and I am very proud of them. From there I moved onto a family right around the corner that I had done some babysitting for and was with them for about 4 years as well. They had an infant and 7-year-old and also owned a summer camp in Larchmont. When the infant was old enough to attend camp I also helped run the camp hiring staff and assisting in managing, as well as still taking care of the kids.
I was with my next two families a year and two years respectively.
Upon the ending of my last nanny job I was offered a job as basically a dog nanny in Greenwich CT for a high profile family. I took care of all aspects of animal's care. When the job was ending I was offered a job running a boarding kennel in back country Greenwich. I stayed in this position for about 5 years.

I was then offered a position as a nanny in Watertown MA for an almost 1-year-old that was last minute. I was interviewed on a Friday, hired on a Sunday and started on Tuesday. I have been with them almost 3 years and we now also have an 8-month-old. I love and adore them and will miss them dearly.

I love everything about being a nanny, watching kids grow and learn and become the people they are supposed to be is fantastic. I am in touch with many of the kids I have worked for over the years and I am very proud of who they have all become and are becoming.

In my opinion being a kid is the most important thing you can give them. Playtime and learning activities that are fun and engaging are my specialties (parks, beaches, hiking, arts and crafts, etc.). I think manners and communication are important and I work with them on both of these aspects.

I look forward to speaking to some of you and becoming part of a new family.
