A little bit about me

My name is Suzie I am a dedicated and passionate childcare provider with a unique blend of education and medical backgrounds. I began my career as an art teacher, where I developed a passion for fostering creativity in children.

In addition to my teaching experience, I am EMT-certified and have worked as a medical assistant, giving me a strong foundation in health, safety, and child development from infancy through adolescence. I’m confident in handling emergencies, maintaining a safe environment, and supporting families with both routine care and unexpected situations.

Currently, I work as a substitute teacher, which keeps me adaptable, energetic, and engaged with children across a wide range of ages and needs. I pride myself on being dependable, nurturing, and attentive, while also making learning fun and encouraging curiosity.

As a nanny, I would strive to create a safe, supportive, and enriching environment where children can grow, explore, and feel truly cared for.
