About Susan
Your Trusted Parenting Coach
Meet Susan Louise Gonzalez
Certified Parent Coach | 30+ Years in Early Childhood Development
Raising young children today comes with more pressure, more opinions, and more confusion than ever before. That’s why I created Nurture Young Minds LLC, to give parents clarity, confidence, and proven tools to support their child’s development during the most critical years.
I’m Susan, a Certified Parent Coach with a B.A. from the University of Texas at Austin and over 30 years of experience guiding families through the early childhood journey. My work has spanned roles such as:
Area Director for an international Au Pair agency
Certified Infant Specialist and Career Nanny
Private tutor for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers
Hiring and Training nannies
And now, a dedicated parent coach
Through every stage, I’ve helped families build deeper emotional connections and unlock their children’s natural desire to learn and grow. My mission is simple: to help you raise confident, curious, and capable children — without pressure, in a playful way and to be ready for school.

I’ve seen firsthand how the right support, at the right time, can completely shift a child’s path. My mission is to give parents like you research-backed guidance that’s practical, warm, and easy to apply in real life. Every recommendation I share is grounded in neuroscience, empathy, and decades of real-world parenting scenarios.
“When parents feel confident, children thrive.”


Whether it’s helping you manage toddler tantrums, minimizing screen time or support preschool transitions, I offer personalized strategies tailored to your family’s needs.
You’ll never get judgment or generic advice. Just custom tools that empower you to parent with confidence, even on your busiest days.
