Hi! I'm Raelyn, an experienced caregiver who loves working with kids of all ages. I'm reliable, patient, and love creating a fun, safe environment that feels like home. My experience includes three years as a mother's helper, two years as a swim instructor, working as a daycare assistant, and most recently serving as a nanny for an infant from 2 to 8 months old. Growing up with two special needs sisters also helped shape my empathy, teaching me how to be someone families can truly depend on. I'm currently looking for part-time or occasional babysitting opportunities that fit well alongside my college schedule! In my spare time, I enjoy reading, going for walks, swimming, and finding fun, creative ways to stay active. And I'd never say no to a good TV show recommendation! One thing you should know about me is music is my passion. I love using music to make playtime and learning more fun for kids. I'd love the chance to connect and see if I'd be a good fit for your family!
I honestly can’t say enough good things about having Rae care for our son. As a new mom, leaving your newborn with anyone can feel overwhelming, but from the very beginning she made us feel completely comfortable and supported. She is incredibly patient, attentive, and naturally nurturing. She was always tuned in to my son’s needs whether it was soothing him when he was fussy, keeping him engaged during wake windows, or helping maintain a consistent routine. She has such a calm presence, which was especially reassuring during those early newborn months when everything feels new and unpredictable. Beyond just being great with my son, she was also thoughtful and reliable in every way. She was always on time, communicated clearly, and treated our home and our family with so much care and respect. It never felt transactional, it genuinely felt like someone who cared deeply about our child and wanted the best for him. Those first six months are such a special and delicate time, and we’re incredibly lucky that she was supported us through that chapter. Any family would be fortunate to have her caring for their children. I would recommend her without hesitation!!
