Suzanne brings years of experience as a high risk labor and delivery nurse and childbirth educator, as well as a Newborn Care Specialist and Sleep Coach. Her wealth of knowledge about babies and sleep patterns makes her a favorite not only for our ABC clients here in Portland, but on travel jobs all around the US.
Suzanne got her start as a graduate of Northwest Nannies Institute and was a professional nanny before she became a labor and delivery nurse. Now that her youngest child has recently graduated high school, Suzanne has the ability to both travel for live-in jobs as well as offering longer shifts than 8 hour overnights. She can do 24/7 jobs for families who need round the clock care, or travel with families on overnight trips or extended travel (even abroad).
Trained originally as a doula with DONA and more recently with CAPPA for a refresher, Suzanne has worked with ABC Doula during several seasons over the past decade, and we love both her confidence and wit, and how she blends those while being a constant support to each family’s parenting choices.
