Hello! My name is Rachel and I am currently on the track to graduate with a dual major in Elementary Education and Special Education! I have been in the education world for several years now, and have loved every moment of it! While I specialize in watching kiddos with special needs, I am open arms for any family that is willing to come my way! I am looking for a new pace from my current job, where I am a paraprofessional at a special education center. I love my coworkers and kiddos, just looking for something new! I am also the head cheer leading coach of one of the high schools in town, so any families with future cheerleaders/dancers will have lots of fun with me!

    Rachel was an absolute life savior for our family!! She was such an amazing babysitter for my 2 children, one of which has special needs. If you have a child with special needs, you know how difficult it is to trust any babysitter with them. Rachel was able to administer meds, take care of behaviors, and feed her without any issues. We have used her so many times, and I hope this review will help more families reach out to her and use her! She is amazing! Thank you Rachel!!!
