About Raquel

I'd describe my personality as patient, kind, and silly. I like working with kids because they remind me of all the kid wonders that I've forgotten! I started working with kids when I baby-sat my little cousins as a teen. Years later I took a position as a nanny for 3 school-aged kids. I then nannied for twin toddler boys who are now in high school and still like family! I am now a mom of one pre-teen so I'm familiar with many stages and parts of child care. In my spare time, I like to be outside like a walk to the park, attending my daughter's school events, or just a quiet evening at home watching a favorite show. One thing you should know about me is I take a lot of care in everything I do. I respect how other people want their children to be cared for and that it will look a little different for each family. My skills include being a very attentive and present caregiver, imaginative play, and ensuring a safe environment.
