About Susan

Experience: 10 yrs

Hi. I am a seasoned nanny with years of child care experience. I find being a nanny one of the most enjoyable career paths. I genuinely love children and work towards fostering their developmental milestones. I draw on my life experiences as having worked as an RN, caring for infants and new moms at a Harvard teaching hospital for over 15 years. I also worked as a school nurse at a private elementary school. I'm very comfortable managing childhood illnesses in collaboration with parents. Strong communication skills are imperative and I update parents via texts throughout the day and love to send along adorable photos of their children engaged in fun activities. I recognize the challenges of working parents and support them in any way I can. I'm comfortable around pets, have a clean driving record and I am up to date on all booster and Covid vaccines. I don't mind offering a helping hand around household chores, provided time allows. I look forward to hearing from you.

We have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Sue for 4.5 years. We began working with Sue when our daughter was 1 year old, and our son was 3 years old. Having had both positive and negative experiences with nannies in the past, we can say unequivocally that our experience with Sue exceeded our high expectations. Sue is exceptionally dependable, which is critical for a family of two professionals. She consistently showed up on time and was willing to stay late if our jobs required it, though we did not take advantage of her dependability. If there was a known reason for an absence, we knew about it months in advance and could plan accordingly. In addition, Sue was willing to work additional hours and would occasionally watch the kids at night when we went out for a date night. Sue’s prior experience as a nurse, including a school nurse, has given us comfort with her ability to care for our kids. As doctors, we appreciated her thoroughness in communicating any concerns she had about our children’s health. Sue was with us during the height of the COVID pandemic, and we never questioned her judgement. She limited potential exposures, and if there was ever a concern, we worked as a team to manage. Further, as health concerns have arisen with our kids, Sue has confidently enacted care plans, such as daily use of a nebulizer when our son had recurrent croup. Communication is critical in any relationship, especially when managing the care of two young children. Sue consistently sent us photo and video updates throughout the day. With any illness, she provided regular updates on our kids’ health. If she took the kids on an adventure to a nearby park, farm or water pad, she made sure to get our approval beforehand, and shared with us throughout the experience. In a sense, we could vicariously join them in the fun. Above all else, Sue’s loving and caring nature showed through in her relationships with our children. Even today, our kids ask when Sue is coming to our house to watch them. The relationship between a family and nanny is a special one, and one that does not end when the job is done. We have never questioned Sue’s love for our kids. She will often say she cares for them as though they are a part of her own family, and it shows. We could not recommend Sue any higher for a family in need of a dependable, responsible, and caring nanny.
