About Suzanne

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I have cared for children in one capacity or another for at least 15 years. I began with babysitting and progressed to tutoring in a variety of subjects, teaching creative movement and dance to ages toddler-adult, working with after school programs, teaching theater to ages 4-14, and teaching visual art to toddlers. I am currently teaching toddlers and actors at the local recreation center and theater and babysitting. I love encouraging children to explore the world around them with wonder and joy and to teach through experience. I love to encourage, nurture, and help develop their personal creativity, verbal/literacy skills, scientific discovery, and numerical skills through play and fun. I like to let my children lead me to what they wish to explore. Will we observe worms today? Create a dance? Make a collage? Play on the playground? The child shows me what s/he wants and needs and I encourage as I enthusiastically go along for the ride and have a blast!

I have known Suzanne for 8 years. During that time, I have seen her in the capacity of caregiver in several situations; everything from babysitting to directing children in Shakespearean plays. Her creative range is enviable and her instincts while working with kids are spot on. As a former nanny myself, I was able to bring many of Suzanne's games and projects to my own work. Suzanne comes to each job with a creative edge and is constantly coming up with new and imaginative ways to engage the children with whom she works. Not only will your children be safe in her capable hands, they are guaranteed to have fun and will want to regale you with the story of their day with Suzanne! She is hardworking, dependable, and trustworthy. I recommend her with no reservations whatsoever. Please feel free to ask Suzanne for my contact information and I'll be happy to answer any further questions you may have.
