Before having children of my own, I worked in an Early On program. Our team consisted of a teacher, a speech pathologist, and me, a social worker. I met with families, diagnosing children with ADD. I would create IEP curricula for these children and connect families with resources. I have 3 children and stayed home with them for 21 years. From 2015 to 2018 I worked at Children's Workshop Preschool for children age 2 years to 5 years. I am passionate about early education. In 2018 I began babysitting for several different families in the Grand Rapids area. Most recently, I was a full time nanny for a family with 3 children: ages 18 months, 4 and 6. I love playing with children, reading, doing arts and crafts and exploring. I also drive a station wagon and am comfortable taking children to and from school and activities.

Susannah has been helping with our son for two years now. She's excellent at engaging him in both play and subtle learning. Shes also constantly comes up with great activities/outings such as the car show, gymnastics and many others. While we've needed less time, she's stayed helpful in smaller doses, and is always ready to step in if work trips or other activities come up and she has capacity. Thanks!
