Meet Susan D., a Los Angeles resident who’s been brightening the lives of families as a CareDriver since August 2022. Susan’s story is one of both practicality and passion. Driven by a love for children and the need to make extra income, she found the perfect fit as a CareDriver.  But Susan brings more than just transportation to the table — her caregiving experience shines through in her dedication to the well-being and positive development of the children she drives. “I am a senior member of society but have a very youthful spirit,” she shares. “I love encouraging young people to create beautiful futures and stay in school.”

Read on to learn more about Susan and her inspiring journey.

Getting children home and to school safely, and learning a lot about young people and their lives.

How students feel about their teachers and what they expect from them.

**What advice would you give to someone considering becoming a CareDriver?**

Yes, I tell everyone about my job driving students safely to and from school.

Make sure you have big shoulders and big ears to listen to the students.
