About Rachel

Experience: 10 yrs

My journey in childcare began at age 10, and over the past decade, I have developed a deep passion for supporting children of all abilities. Having transitioned from caregiver to an upper management role at an autism care facility, I bring extensive professional experience working with both neurotypical children and those with developmental disabilities, including behavioral challenges. I am trained in mobility supports such as wheelchairs, gait belts, harnesses, and more. I am also certified in specialized diets, Med Aid certified, and trained in CPR, First Aid, and Abuse & Neglect prevention. I am patient, creative, and enjoy engaging children through outdoor play, puzzles, and educational activities. I am comfortable enforcing household rules and can assist with meals, transportation, and light housekeeping. I prioritize clear communication and adapt updates to your preferred method. I am dedicated to providing compassionate, reliable care that helps your family thrive.

Rachel is an amazing care giver and literally the only person I’ve trusted to watch my children! Including overnights! She is honest, trustworthy, has integrity, patience, and she’s the person you can put your full trust in with your kiddos. Couldn’t ask for better child care, knowing my kids are having fun, staying safe, and most importantly feeling loved like one of her own!
