About Sue

Experience: 10 yrs

I am an experienced nanny with 30+ years of carrying infants (including premature babies), toddlers, and older kids. I find it incredibly rewarding to nurture children and support their development physically, socially, and emotionally. With infants, I prioritize having their needs met such as regular feedings and nap time, while also having plenty of interactive play indoors and outdoors. I have enjoyed with older children include phonics, reading, arts & crafts, singing and dancing, As a mom of three grown children, being a nanny is incredibly meaningful, even therapeutic. It is a great way to make use of my wisdom to benefit future generation.

Sue has been our toddler son’s nanny for the past year, and we couldn’t be happier with her care. Finding a truly skilled nanny in the Bay Area is difficult, so we feel incredibly fortunate to have found Sue. Our son has a sensitive temperament and is typically wary of new people, to such a degree that makes short-term caretakers impractical for us. From the beginning, however, he bonded quickly with Sue. Every Monday morning—after spending the weekend with us—he greets her with a big smile and eager hugs. Sue keeps him engaged with age-appropriate activities: trips to the neighborhood playground, story time at the library, playdates with other toddlers, and leisurely walks around the block. Throughout the day she sends us plenty of photos and updates, giving us peace of mind and letting us share in his adventures. Because he is our first child, we were naturally cautious when selecting a nanny. After only a few months with Sue, we felt completely at ease leaving him in her care. Over the past year he has thrived physically, emotionally, and cognitively—thanks in no small part to her patient, attentive approach. We plan to ask Sue back when we have a second child, and we recommend her without reservation to any family seeking a warm, reliable, and highly capable nanny. She is definitely a rare gem in the competitive Bay Area nanny market.
