My name is Raquel, I am a kind and empathetic CCMA (certified clinical medical assistant), RBT (registered, behavioral technician) & Phlebotomist. I am advanced cardiac life support and BLS & CPR certified. I'm 42 years old & have 2 children who are 16 and 18 as well as 2 miniature dachshunds. For the last few years I have consistently worked with children on the spectrum, but also take on non-special needs positions. Previous to getting into healthcare and special-needs nannying I owned a dog walking & pet sitting business for 7 years. I'm incredibly patient & connect quickly with people and children of all ages. I'm exceptionally good with newborns & toddlers and treat each family I work with as I would my own. I am dedicated, reliable, efficient, trustworthy, organized, as well as a self starter. Some of my bonuses are that I am a great cook and can provide cooking and light housekeeping. I love animals, so I'm happy to be around family pets. I do also speak Spanish.

    I have a 4-year old boy who has Autism. Raquel has proven to be an excellent caregiver who is not only nice and patient but also incredibly knowledgeable. She understands the unique challenges that come with caring for a child with autism and has tailored her approach to meet our son's specific needs. Her sensitivity and compassion towards our son are evident in the way she interacts with him and ensures that he feels safe and secure. One of the things that stand out about Raquel is her flexibility. She is always willing to adjust her schedule to accommodate my family's needs, and she is also quick to adapt to changes in our son's routine. Her ability to be flexible and adaptable makes her an invaluable member of my family's support system. Another remarkable quality of Raquel is her excellent communication skills. She keeps me informed of our son's progress and any concerns she may have, and she does so with kindness and clarity. Overall, Raquel is a true gem, and we are lucky to have her.
