Hello!      My name is Susan. I am a newly minted ZsaZsa (grandmother), still-roller-skating-on-the-regular, SCUBA diving, paddle boarding, lover of the outdoors. A former teacher, turned Professional Nanny and CACHE certified Newborn Care Specialist with twins experience, a graduate of the University of Missouri College of Education and native Missourian, a Myers-Briggs ISFJ Defender, a fun-loving introvert who enjoys people in small gatherings and needs a reasonable amount of quiet/alone time to recharge and refresh. I value honesty and trust, integrity and courtesy and being a person of my word.  A doer and self-starter, not one to be idle when something needs doing. A caregiver by nature, a pragmatist and lover of all things home. Equal parts: adventurous soul, have a passport and not afraid to use it and homebody, just as happy to sip coffee and curl up with a good book.      For eleven years, I have been on an Read more adventure in South Florida as a full-time Newborn Care Specialist and Nanny. Every day is a different, at times challenging, wonderful experience. I have been proclaimed the “Best Peanut Butter Worker” by a little girl who knows her peanut butter. I’ve tackled 20 loads of laundry in a day (2 weeks sans power sufficient to operate a washing machine, post hurricane Irma, at a laundromat) with four children in tow! I keep my passport handy, you never know when you’ll be needed on a family ski trip in Mont Tremblant, Quebec or running an errand in Deshaies, Guadeloupe. I have read Goodnight Moon at least a thousand times, worked 20 hour shifts 7 days a week during the worst of the pandemic and experienced more precious moments than one heart can hold.      Every day I am blessed to do what I am passionate about, nurturing tiny humans. I have always felt most successful, in my niche, and joy caring for and educating children in a domestic environment. Nurturing flows naturally from who I am at my core. I have worked in education and childcare over thirty years. And now I am turning my focus to a developing area of professional caregiving… I have transitioned to Newborn Care Specialist, exclusively. I will be available for overnight care, 24/7 care, and travel care for 2-16 weeks.       I intend to continue as a caregiver for as long as I am able and still enjoy it. I will retire one day but for now I will occupy some of my time in the care of littles... seeing the wonder of the world through their fresh eyes is a gift! Kind regards Susan
