About Suzanne
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I have cared for children in one capacity or another for over 20 years. I began with babysitting and progressed to tutoring in a variety of subjects and teaching dance, theatre, and visual art to ages 2 - 15. I also worked as a full time nanny in San Francisco with the same family for 4. 5 years, and as a part time nanny there for nearly 12 years. I have experience with children ages 0 - 15, and also some experience with children with special needs. I love encouraging children to explore the world around them with wonder and joy and to teach through hands-on experience and reading. I love to encourage and nurture their personal creativity, verbal/literacy skills, scientific discovery, and numerical skills through play and fun. I like to let my children lead me to what they wish to explore. Will we observe worms today? Create a dance? Make a collage? Play on the playground? The child shows me what they want and need and I encourage as I enthusiastically go along for the ride!

I have known Suzanne for 8 years. During that time, I have seen her in the capacity of caregiver in several situations; everything from babysitting to directing children in Shakespearean plays. Her creative range is enviable and her instincts while working with kids are spot on. As a former nanny myself, I was able to bring many of Suzanne's games and projects to my own work. Suzanne comes to each job with a creative edge and is constantly coming up with new and imaginative ways to engage the children with whom she works. Not only will your children be safe in her capable hands, they are guaranteed to have fun and will want to regale you with the story of their day with Suzanne! She is hardworking, dependable, and trustworthy. I recommend her with no reservations whatsoever. Please feel free to ask Suzanne for my contact information and I'll be happy to answer any further questions you may have.
