About Susan
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
Caring for children allows me to be creatively and actively involved in work that's meaningful. Children are naturally eager to learn and grow as they play. It's exciting to share curiosity and enthusiasm, as we explore, discover, and create! For the last two years, I've been nanny to one child, who is now two. Previously, I held two other nanny positions, with children, newborn to age five. I taught preschool for 14 years, and provided childcare for NfL First 5. I've trained with the Outdoor Classroom Project, am a certified Level 1 Outdoor Specialist, and I taught my own outdoor classroom, through NfL. I did my student teaching in the co-op at Ventura College. My own five children attended Open Classroom, where I volunteered, preparing and facilitating learning activities for school aged children. I've participated in Richards Institute's Education Through Music workshops; I love sharing music with children! I hold an AA in ECE, Child Development, and have first aid/CPR training.

If I could give Susi 100+ stars, I would, but her value cannot be measured. Susi was our nanny for 2 years from the time my younger daughter was 3 months old until she was 2.5 years old and also helped out with our older daughter who was 3.5 - 5 years old during that time. She became a part of our family and is an overall amazing person and wonderful caregiver. She has incredible experience, is very knowledgeable about child development and has that intangible magic of someone who is just really great with babies and kids. There is truly no one else outside of our family that we would trust more completely than we trust Susi with the care of our kids. Our daughters adore her and grew and learned so much from her, and so did I. And even though she no longer works with us, we still keep in touch and I still reach out to her to chat and get advice. If you get the chance to work with Susi, do not hesitate. She is a true gem!
