About Raquel

Thanks for popping in, to read more about me! Below is a bit about my journey in childcare! I started my childcare journey when I was 16, as a live-in nanny, for a summer. I was then off to college at 17 and I received my bachelor's degree in early childhood education when I was 21. I have since been a building resource teacher (2 years), working with ages 6 weeks to 5 years old. Then I moved on to an assistant teacher (1 year), and then a lead preschool teacher (3 years), with occasional coverings in the infant and toddler classrooms. More recently, I have been a family support specialist, working directly with families to resolve conflicts or concerns with their children's before and after school programs. I am passionate about children's development and curating safe spaces for children to thrive. I love to focus on emotions and being outside is my favorite thing. I am reliable, hardworking and have a passion for advocation.
