About Susan

Experience: 35 yrs

I am looking for a position (5-30 hours) working with children where I can share my education and experiences. It is important to provide children with activities and experiences unique to their individual development. My philosophy is to partner with the parents about their child's individualized care. Communication is the center of everything and done open, honest, and transparent. My rates are $20-$25/hour but can be negotiable. I have 30+ years of experience working with children from birth to 21+ in a variety of ECE programs. I have worked with children who had special abilities and a variety of medical conditions. I obtained my MS in Early Childhood Admin, my BS in Family Child Development, and my AS in ECE. I specialized in working with infant/toddlers, their teachers, and programs to increase quality services to families. Let's CHAT!

My wife and I could not have asked for a better caregiver for our family trip to Virginia, and we are extremely thankful we found Susan. Susan went above and beyond in every way. She drove a significant distance daily, always arriving ahead of time and staying late without complaint. She did an exceptional job caring for, teaching, and protecting our two young children, aged 2 and 3. If you've ever traveled with toddlers, you know the reality: they're hyped up on sugar and excitement to see family, running on serious jetlag, and operating well outside their normal routines. Caring for kids in that environment without immediately reverting to screen time is nothing short of a miracle. Each day Susan worked with us, she respectfully taught, entertained, and kept our children safe, balancing activity time with a limited amount of TV, balancing the kids' wishes with adult sensibility about what is actually a good idea. She was patient, engaged, and genuinely present with them in a way that gave us real peace of mind. Susan is an immensely kind, giving, and hardworking woman. We are giving her our heartfelt 5-star review, a deeply felt thank you, and a strong reference. I can earnestly recommend her to anyone who needs childcare in Virginia, would be willing and happy to serve as a reference, and hope we can visit her and work with her again on any future family trip to the state. We love you, Susan! Thank you so much from the whole family!
