Our Team
Susy Caracas is a resident of Orange County, California, with an outstanding background in newborn care and postpartum support for mothers. Since 2005, Susy has worked as a nanny, and in 2012, she decided to specialize in newborn care and development, earning prestigious certifications that endorse her professional training and experience.
She is a Certified Postpartum Doula through CAPPA, an Advanced Certified Newborn Care Specialist with NCSA, a Certified Infant and Baby Care Specialist through USNA, additionally certified as an NCS with CACHE, and, most recently, in 2024, certified as a Lactation Educator by CAPPA, establishing her as an expert leader in postpartum and neonatal care.
With a Bachelor’s degree in Communications and a specialization in Public Relations, Susy also taught high school Spanish in Mexico, reinforcing her commitment to education and development. This commitment led her to join the board of the US Nanny Association in 2020, where she holds a key position as Director of the Hispanic Community.
Susy is also the founder of the Facebook group “Nannies Hispanas en Estados Unidos,” a national community of over 7,000 members. Her mission is to empower Spanish-speaking nannies by providing valuable information that promotes their continued education and personal and professional growth in an environment of respect and camaraderie.
Thanks to her experience and dedication to the community, Susy recognized the need to create a Spanish-language course, “Fundamentals of Newborn Care and Development,” which meets high standards and is designed to provide the Hispanic community with access to culturally relevant professional training in their native language.
Through Cuidando Ángeles, Susy is devoted to inspiring, training, and connecting Spanish-speaking caregivers and professionals, contributing to a well-prepared and united community in newborn care and support.
