About Rachel

Experience: 10 yrs

What do you want me to do differently and how will that be measured Hi, my name is Rachel, and I'm a 37-year-old writer and editor who always seems to want to return to infant nannying. This has been a part-time job/joy since I was 18. I've worked with over 10 infants and their families over the years. Why specialize in caring for infants? My reasons are manifold: I seem to have a way with them. I find them fascinating, enlivening, and downright adorable. They feed my energy, and I enjoy helping families through the transition of their first child. I also appreciate that babies don't carry illness as often as older kids, which makes this a more sustainable part-time job for me. My fiancé works at UVA as a teacher, and I spend the mornings working on my novel, but I am available for afternoons and evenings. I have references, infant CPR training, and considerable experience. Vaxxed against COVID and whooping cough. I hope to hear from you soon!

Rachel is everything you want in a nanny or babysitter. She is patient, caring and attentive. Rachel took care of my baby off and on during her first year and I feel lucky. In addition to keeping her entertained, she knew how to soothe her and make her feel safe when I wasn’t around. I’d hire her again in a second.
