About Rachel

Experience: 1 yr

COVID-19 vaccinated

Hello! I'm a compassionate caregiver specializing in special needs support (all ages), childcare, and pet care. My background includes being a caretaker for my brother who has Down Syndrome and Autism for over 10 years, volunteering at Special Hearts Farm, and paid babysitting for friends with neurotypical children. I also had a mobile pet grooming business for 2 years. I may be new to Care. com, but I'm no stranger to the challenges and rewards of caregiving. I am most experienced working with individuals ages 4+. I am reliable, have car insurance, and good driving skills. In my spare time, I like to hang out with my pets, go to local events with friends, do DIY crafts and woodworking, and collect house plants. My top skills include patience, proactive problem solving and safety skills, and teaching life skills and crafting skills.

Rachel is so patient, caring and kind to my son. She has an amazing sense of humor and they laugh together all the time. My son is completely at ease and comfortable with her. I trust her completely with him.
