About Susan

Experience: 20 yrs

Nurturing a child's natural curiosity is my greatest passion. With 30+ years of experience and a graduate degree featuring extensive Early Child Development Coursework, I provide professional, reliable care for up to four children. My approach is creative and friendly, whether we are playing board games, solving puzzles, or engaging in outdoor sports. As a Certified Teacher, I love turning everyday moments into educational opportunities. I hold CPR Training and First Aid Training certifications to ensure a safe environment. I am happy to assist with meal preparation, carpooling, and crafts while strictly upholding your household rules. I prioritize clear communication by adapting to your preferred method for daily updates. Because my own grandchildren live far away, I cherish the opportunity to support your family and help your children thrive, just as if they were my own.

Susan is amazing with my toddler. She has been a fantastic resource and support through potty training and all toddler challenges. My son loves spending time with her and gets excited on days when she picks him up from daycare. She’s also incredibly kind to my dog and isn’t phased when he gets protective of my son when she arrives (until he remembers who she is and then becomes equally excited to see her).
