This is the background check we require for all caregivers.
Experience: 3 yrs
I've been working with children of all ages for the past two years (1yr-17yrs), and it's been the most rewarding experience. Watching them grow and learn is such a gift, and I'm grateful to be a part of their lives. As a friendly, patient, and firm caregiver, I believe in creating a safe and fun environment where children can thrive. Daily or weekly check-ins with parents help ensure we're all on the same page and working together to address any issues that arise. When it comes to household rules, I'm comfortable enforcing them fairly and consistently. From board games to outdoor activities, I'm always up for a game that encourages engagement and keeps the kids away from screens. With experience as a Center Director of a tutoring center, Grand View University student, and lifelong learner myself, I'm confident in my ability to care for children of various ages. I look forward to meeting you and your family and providing the best possible care for your little ones.

Rachel has been tutoring for me for over a year now, and I couldn't be happier! She gets the kids to work even when they don't want to; she never gets frustrated or upset; and she has the patience of a saint. Rachel has also been introducing some Spanish vocabulary to the kids, and they're loving it! I am so lucky to have found her.
