About Susan

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I'm working a lot now (child care, special needs care, and transportation) but have occasional availability when the family travels or things otherwise change, and I'm available for date nights. I have years of experience as sitter & nanny. My philosophy is kindness and firmness, explanations over anger, and supporting a child's joyful exploration of life. I've worked as live-in caregiver for seniors with mobility and dementia issues, as an agency caregiver for various clients, and as a full-time in-home caregiver to a paralyzed young woman. I have experience in personal care including bathing, toileting (bedpans, commodes, catheters, and bowel program), transfers, ambulatory assistance and post-surgical care. My training was 12yrs as a Navy corpsman, where I learned excellent emergency & patient care skills. This training has been invaluable as I care for people in varying states of health and mobility. I welcome working with individuals and with families of all types and sizes.

Susan is an amazing nanny and we miss her! She is extremely reliable, honest and loves children. Susan has many years of experience and is very safety-focused which is important. She has experience and is great with infants as well as older children. I would highly recommend Susan and wish I could have her come to the Bay Area to work with us still!
