I am a professional nanny, personal assistant and postpartum doula. I love nurturing children of all ages! I have had the privilege of working with over 47 families since COVID. Including working at the Miramar. I specialize in infants and children with special needs. My own sons are 21 and 24 years old. They went to Montecito Union and are now thriving adults living on their own. My mother's intuition has helped me tremendously especially around anticipating potential safety hazards. I use the Montessori method to teach children through play. I feel my job as a caregiver is to make the children feel safe, validated and empowered to explore. I will read, communicate and play! I emphasize good manners and kindness. My references will tell you how much they love it when I reorganize all the kid's clothes in the drawers or the snacks in the pantry. I always make sure the kitchen is clean with the dishwasher unloaded, garbage out, toys/clothes put away!

Rachel was able to jump right in and help care for our 3.5 month infant. She was great at soothing the baby and let her have some epic contact naps! Baby was happy and well rested every time we worked with Rachel! She was also very communicative and reliable. We would gladly hire her again!
