    Rachael has been a lifesaver for our family. She works with our younger child who has Special Needs as well as our older child who is a typical sassy five year old. She's easily able to handle both children at any time and gives a ton of love and attention to them. We feel very comfortable when she is with our younger son, who suffers from a rare metabolic disorder and has epilepsy. We would highly recommend Rachael as a caregiver.
