About Me
Dear Family,
I am writing to express my enthusiastic interest in the nanny position for your family.
With 16 years of dedicated experience in childcare, I have developed a strong commitment to supporting children’s growth and providing families with the reassurance that comes from expert and reliable care.
I chose to become a nanny because I find immense fulfilment in being a consistent, positive influence during a child’s most formative years. My career began with a genuine love for teaching and play, but it has involved a professional commitment to early childhood development. I view my role not just as a carer but as a partner to parents in fostering a safe, nurturing and intellectually stimulating environment.
Throughout my 16-year career, I have worked with children from 5 months of age to school age. This extensive background has allowed me to refine a diverse set of skills and merits, including:
Developmental milestones: Expert knowledge in sleep training, potty training, weaning, and age-appropriate play.
Safety and wellness: Fully CPR and first aid certified with a proactive approach to child safety and nutrition.
Educational support: Experience in creating structured daily routines that include tutoring, creative arts and outdoor exploration.
Household harmony: Highly organised and capable of managing light housekeeping, meal preparation and complex scheduling.
Personal merits: I pride myself on my patience with children, adaptability, and high emotional intelligence. I am a clear communicator who values transparency and respects the unique parenting styles of each family I help.
I am looking for a long-term opportunity where I can apply my decade-plus of experience to help your children thrive. I would welcome the chance to discuss how my background aligns with your family’s needs.
Thank you for your time and consideration!
Warmly,
Suzy

I cannot recommend Zsuzsi highly enough! She has been providing nanny and babysitting services for us since my child was born in 2022, delivering exceptional, professional care through every developmental stage.
We are so lucky that we could have her as our nanny.
Zsuzsi is a total powerhouse. She is an amazing cook, incredibly organized, and so fast that she can tidy the whole house in the blink of an eye.
She strikes the perfect balance of being firm when needed yet loving, brings endless fun to the kids, and knows more nursery rhymes than I ever thought existed.
She never called sick and never let us down.
If you want the absolute best, loving most reliable care for your child, hire Zsuzsi. Thank You Zsuzsi for your help.

Dear Viktoria,
Thank you for your appreciation!
I hired Suzy to work as a nanny in 2023-2024 and I would certainly recommend her work. Suzy has demonstrated tremendous responsibility in taking care of our children and in keeping the house in working order.
She is kind, trustworthy and great with children.
It is clear to me that working as a nanny is a passion for Suzy.
She loves working with the children, and I see this manifest in her communication skills and creative ideas for activities.
She keeps the children occupied and most importantly, safe.
They really enjoy their time with Suzy.
Ultimately, Suzy is an excellent nanny because she is trustworthy. She is always on-time, honest and held to high responsibility.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need further information.

Thank you!
I regret to share my disappointing experience with Suzy, who we hired to care for our almost one-year-old son. Initially, we were hopeful and had high expectations for a long-lasting arrangement, as we clearly communicated our need for a commitment of at least a year, with two days a week. Unfortunately, our expectations were shattered.
For over two months, she appeared to be reliable and bonded well with our child, although she called sick three times in this period. We invested significant time and effort into ensuring a smooth transition for our son, even as I returned to work. Despite her prior assurance of a year-long commitment, she suddenly let us down without any notice, citing changes in her living situation.
We were concerned and tried reaching out to understand the circumstances better, but our attempts to communicate were met with silence. This abrupt departure left us in a tough position, struggling to find alternative childcare amidst my return to work. I discovered that she had been actively logging into her account on a daily basis despite her claimed inability to continue working for us.
I can't help but feel deeply disappointed by this situation. Our child had developed a bond with her, becoming excited to see her each week. Her sudden departure has left us questioning her intentions and commitment from the start. As parents, we were determined to ensure our child's emotional well-being and security, and it's disheartening to think that he may have been caught in a situation where he wasn't a genuine priority.
In hindsight, I wish we had received the honesty and professionalism we expected, and that our child's emotional attachment hadn't been taken lightly. As we move forward, we're committed to finding a caregiver who shares our dedication to our child's welfare and offers the stability and reliability we sought from the beginning. This experience serves as a reminder of the importance of choosing caregivers carefully and thoroughly vetting their intentions and commitment.

Dear Shohreh,
It is absolutely a ridiculous and misleading information and I do not tolerate the mud on my name.
I have never had a contract with you, so you have no right to comment such nonsenses.
I felt sick, I have reported it in time and I had to cancel my " housekeeping and babysitting " commitment with you.
I hope you will find peace in your heart and sole and find a new option in "childcare"that I would describe as a position which is more likely suitable for a housekeeper or an au-pair rather than a skilled nanny.
Thank you!
Suzy was a full time caring nanny for our son from 6 months until he was ready for school at 4 1/2. She was utterly reliable and our son grew to love her as part of the family - which she has remained. He is in year 2 at school now, and we still regularly see Suzy and she joins us at family birthdays and celebrations. She has a full reference from us, which she can show you, so I won't repeat it all here. What I will say is that hiring a nanny is a difficult thing - we know how fortunate we were to find Suzy. Suzy has helped us raise a wonderful son. She did such a good job at stretching him and nuturing him. I would have no doubt in recommending her unreservedly.

Many thanks!
Suzy is currently our nanny three days a week and unfortunately we are moving house to a different part of the country so Suzy is unable to continue to be our nanny.
Suzy has been a truly wonderful nanny to us. She has many tributes, she is amazingly committed, in the 18 months Suzy has been with us she has never had a day off ill, she has never been a single second late, managing to get to our house against all odds no matter what, even if we are knee deep in snow or experiencing a hurricane.
Suzy has a natural affinity with children, my children had never had a nanny before and they soon formed a close bond with her.
Suzy is incredibly diligent, takes the children's welfare and development very seriously, and writes me a diary each day detailing what they have been up to that day. Also if the children have been poorly she is extremely attentive and has taken them to the doctor if needed.
The children definitely have a lot of fun when with Suzy, they are busy painting, cooking, arts and crafts, get plenty of fresh air, Suzy playing with them all the time. And during the school holidays Suzy researches all the activities are going on in the area that they can enjoy.
Suzy cooks for the children each day, giving them a varied and nutritious diet. The children really enjoy their food and this is due to Suzy.
Suzy enthusiastically celebrates all the annual events with the children, ie Easter, Halloween, Christmas, Mother's Day and Father's Day etc, making decorations and festive cooking etc.
Suzy is very tidy, she tidies all the toys etc up for when I get home and leaves the house very tidy, its always refreshing to come back to a house which is tidier than when you left it.
Suzy has always made herself available for any extra babysitting and has always been very obliging in taking her holidays when we as a family are taking our annual holidays.
I really cannot recommend Suzy enough to any family who are looking for a caring, trustworthy and diligent nanny, Suzy is one in a million and I am so glad she has been part of my family for the last 18 months.

Suzy has worked with us since the beginning of this year and in that time has looked after our 20 month old daughter.
Suzy has been particularly good at keeping our daughter happy and entertained and, when we have worked from home, it has been encouraging to hear the laughter from both of them throughout the day.

You are a very reliable and great lady and I will never forget that you did for me.

Suzy
Suzy has been babysitting for our little boy for a year now. From the moment we met her we knew she was responsible, caring & she always goes that extra mile. Suzy not only has a love for children she always makes sure their parents feel comfortable & asks questions, takes initiative & educates herself by taking numerous childcare courses in her spare time.
I know that whenever Suzy babysits my son will have a great time, follow his routine & be well looked after. She also always leaves the house clean - a bonus!
Highly recommended.
