Susan I. Nanny in Carnation, WA 98014.

As I end a four year journey with the last amazing family I nannied for, before searching for my next I would like to take some time to offer short term, spot care, date nights, and overnight care. I have a dependable vehicle (van, seats 8), clean driving record, and comfortable driving to activities. I am very punctual, detail oriented, and very patient while being consistent.

Being a mom of five, and a childcare provider for 15+ years, I am well experienced in all stages, from newborn to teenagers, and I am also experienced with special needs children - ADD/ADHD, Asperger's/Autism, ODD, texture sensitivities, etc. I am knowledgeable in food sensitivities, including cross contamination, and can cook meals according to what the child needs. I am comfortable with cloth diapering and the safe handling of breast milk (storing to proper heating), colicing babies, and sick children.

I practice "attachment parenting" for the little ones, and "love and logic" for older kids.

I am open to a consistent family for overnight infant care, from 10 p.m. - 6am, or on an as needed basis. During daytime hours, I am able to help with laundry, basic food prep, transportation to appointments and activities, and am able to run errands/grocery shop during the same time I'm providing care if needed.

For the new mom with an infant, I can provide quite a bit of support to you at the same time if you need, from pictures and videos being sent to you while you're gone, support with pumping and freezing of the milk along with cleaning the supplies, and milk production. Along with this though, just supporting you that the emotions that you feel are normal as your body heals, hormones settle, and you're away from your baby for the first time or when they're sick.

$16hr (1) $18hr (2) $20hr (3+)

Short term = Up to two months, Mon - Thurs, any variation of days and hours with a 7hr minimum each day needed.

No children would be coming with me. References available upon request.

**Saturday evening care is available, although marked as not - - I would have my 2.5yo and 5yo daughter with me**
