Hello! My name is Rachel and I have focused my career on working with children. I have a Bachelor's and Master's of Social Work and found my passion for early childhood development when I worked as a home visitor with children aged 0-3 years. I later worked as a writer for six years and developed early childhood education curriculum. In 2021, my world changed when I became a parent. For the past year, I have been doing the best job of all! I take my son with me as I work as a child caregiver. I love to incorporate all the research-based recommendations that I've learned over the years into my interactions with children. For example, I offer hands-on learning experiences, support children in recognizing and naming their emotions, and pay close attention to the child's specific interests so I can best support their learning. Thank you for reading my bio! I look forward to talking with you!

Rachel has been wonderful with our toddler over the past year. We tried a highly ranked daycare in the area after a 17 month waitlist and were very disappointed. Rachel has been a God send. She brings activities regularly and special snacks for special occasions. My toddler loves her and has even requested Rachel to play with her at the park rather than me when we went. Rachel always asks our preferences on parenting decisions and we never feel judgment for decision making. We never have to worry about safety of our toddler and she is always transparent any time an accident rarely happens. I have been very overprotective of my child, but feel very comfortable when Rachel is caring for them. She is highly qualified based on her background and is naturally nurturing. We are so appreciative of her.
