I am a retired banking executive . After leaving the banking world I married a long time friend and we adopted a 10 yr old from Foster Care in Roanoke Va, she graduated Ocean Lakes High School and now works as a teachers assistant. My husband Mark and I took 81 hours of training for child care, childhood trama, special needs, multi family raising, and "NAMI" mental health training. In order to become Foster Parents you have to pass a background check, multiple home checks, and after approved continued home checks. I have the certificate of approval from Roanoke County Social Serves for Foster Care for up to 5 children. We also had to be CPR certified. We had our great great niece came to live with us 7/2017 she was 12 lbs at 1 yr old and Dr said failure to thrive. She and her Dad lived with us Read more until 1/2019. She was above weight, height, physical fitness when they were able to move out. The father and mother learned parenting and child safety. I was a nanny for a 4 month old for a Navy Master Chief 8 months and they were transferred. For the last 8 months I have been a nanny for a Navy JAG Lawyer and his wife; whom is a Doctor at Sentara. They have 4 children 4, 3, 2, 11 months. Mostly caring for the youngest two but all when schools closed or children sick. Mother-in-law came to live with them so I am available. Looking forward to talking with you on how I could help babysitting/nannying your precious children.

Very sweet and attentive. My 4 year old said Susan was the best babysitter he's ever had. She read books, played games, played toys and played "store." She was on time, courteous, and overall a great choice for a sitter for our 15 month old and 4 year old boys.
