About Rachel

Hello, Thank you for considering me in your search for the right childcare provider. As the oldest of 6 children, I've had a hand in childcare for as long as I can remember. I was 13 when my youngest brother (now 16) was diagnosed with Down Syndrome and Autism as an infant, so I have extensive experience taking care of special needs kiddos. I also have over 10 years of childcare experience outside my own family - from date night babysitting when I was in high school to many different full-time positions in the years since. So far the most kids I've cared for at once (outside my own family) is 2, though I'd be comfortable working with up to 4. Beyond childcare, I'm also an experienced teacher! I was a private tutor from 2014 to 2018, and from July 2018 to March 2021 I was an ES & JHS English teacher in northern Japan. Feel free to ask me about a childcare/tutoring package!
