About Rachel

Experience: 6 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

As a UofSC senior psychology major, I'm driven by my passion for nurturing children's growth and development. I have 6 years of childcare experience through babysitting and being a senior summer camp counselor! In school, my focus is on childhood psychology and my coursework relates to early childhood development. I'm committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for your child. I pride myself on remaining calm and patient during challenging situations. I am creative and imaginative and am able to keep the children engaged and entertained. I'm comfortable enforcing household rules as guided by parents. I am full of energy and enjoy playing a variety of games with children, from outdoor sports to board games and educational activities. I'm happy to assist with cooking, meal preparation, carpooling, light housekeeping, and supervising swimming activities. I am planning on renewing my CPR certification over the summer!

My family feels incredibly fortunate to have had Rachel as both our babysitter and our child's camp counselor. Her natural ability to connect with children is truly remarkable. Our daughter, who is typically very shy, blossomed under Rachel's care. With patience, understanding, and genuine kindness, Rachel created a safe and nurturing environment that allowed my daughter to come out of her shell. Rachel is always so enthusiastic and according to my daughter, "makes everything EXTRA fun"! If you want a compassionate and dedicated babysitter who will make a lasting positive impact on your children's lives, grab Rachel while you can!
