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, especially outdoors! I taught preschool for 14 years. Since then it has been a joy to work as a nanny with children newborn to five years, in five wonderful families. Training with educational programs has broadened and enriched my experience. My practicum was a unique chance to work closely with parents and children under a Master Teacher. Volunteering in Open Classroom offered fun learning activities for children, K-6. Creating and guiding my own Outdoor Classroom Camp was an opportunity to offer an exciting and joyful outdoor experiences to families in my community. Caring for children and families is my life's work. I love being creatively and actively involved in work that matters.

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!
