Experience: 3 yrs
As a mother, my hands-on experience caring for my child from infancy through toddlerhood has given me a deep joy and appreciation for child development. I've nurtured growth through Montessori-inspired practices, emotionally attuned caregiving, and engaging, screen-free activities. Along the way, I introduced baby sign language, fostered bilingual Spanish and English learning, encouraged early speech and a love of books through interactive reading, and supported milestones with fun, age-appropriate play. This journey has taught me how to create a safe, calm, and enriching environment where children can thrive with confidence and curiosity. As a plus for those needed help during postpartum, I am knowledgeable about post partum care based on Ayurveda for both baby and mom, and I can share tips on basic self-caree techniques, baby massage, and nourishing meals for proper recovery.
Susana was great with my 2 year old son. She kept him comfortable and safe and followed the house rule no problem.
