About Susan

Experience: 10 yrs

I usually substitute teach for area schools in the Yakima Valley but for almost 2 years I have been caring for my elderly parents in my home, but now that I need to go back to work, and their needs have changed, we are in the process of moving them to Care Home. I have caregivers to take my place, so I am available now to work full-time. I have many years of experience working with children, I have worked as a youth counselor, Summer reading program coordinator, tutor, teacher and travel guide for Japanese exchange students, Sunday School Teacher, and homeschool mom. I have worked as a nanny for over 6 years, my first long-term nanny job spanned 5 years with a family that lived in Redmond WA. I also enjoy landscaping, home organization, and serving others in varying capacities.

Susan loves children and cares deeply for their overall well being. She loves to help them learn and is always looking to give them new experiences. Kids pick up on her enthusiasm and happily join her games. Her discipline is gentle but firm, fair, and consistent; she tries to use redirection and distraction whenever possible and is really good at it. Because she pays attention, she can discern which kind of discipline will work best for each child), and she seems to have an endless well of patience without letting kids get away with misbehavior. Susan takes initiative-I really appreciated how she would proactively ask about things she could help me with. She came up with lots of fun games, crafts, and activities to play with our boys. She would sometimes arrive to work 5-10 minutes late, though she always let me know. It wasn't often enough to be a serious problem, but it happened often enough that I noticed. Still, I would be delighted to have her back if she lived closer!
