My love for children is immense, many people love only their children or those only related to them. Fortunately, I enjoy the company and interaction of children everywhere. Since I was a young girl, playing house was one of, if not my most favorite thing to do. My name is Suzi, and I would love to help! I have been a nanny for a family for 15 years and have loved every part of it. I come from a wonderful, steady loving family of six with three older sisters! The life I lived was full of love, strength and fun. My parents have set the highest standard of what a nuclear family should represent; which is why I believe in the fulfillment of family so much. Most of our family vacations consisted of camping trips to Michigan, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. Skiing trips to Colorado were my favorite, as I love Read more to snowboard. Caring for children was always my calling and has come naturally since I started babysitting in high school. For nine years I worked for the same family involving 4 cousins; all starting when they were infants. I love to read especially Harry Potter; my favorite sports are soccer, volleyball, and snowboarding. Baking with the kids is especially fun because they can get involved and help out. We spend a lot of time at the pool in the summer as they both love the water. I have enjoyed watching them grow up and every milestone, sitting up, walking, high-fiving, and my favorite, hugs and kisses has been just as exciting to me as their parents. I have graduated college with an associates degree taking multiple classes in early childhood development. My CPR certification is up to date. I currently run an in home daycare in Chicago in the Ukrainian village neighborhood!

Suzi was an amazing nanny. She watched my son from 10 months old and my daughter from 8 weeks old. The only reason I left her care was because my husband is working a different schedule and can watch our children. I actually dreaded having to take my children away from Suzanne. I felt that she was just as loving and caring with my kids as I would have been. She also taught me a lot about being a mother. She helped me through his and her firsts.....sickness, teething, crawling, potty training, new glasses, and even bike riding. She took them to the pool, the park, on walks, to the pediatrician, and made sure they ate well and napped. My son would do many crafts and have stories of activities i.e. baking banana bread. We could count on her for keeping to the schedule and being flexible at the same time. She also followed any instruction that I had, and reported everything to me. She nannied for us for 4 years.
