About Rachel
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
Hello! My name is Rachel, I am 33 years old and I have been working in childcare since 2009. I've been working as a nanny since November of 2015, and previous to that I worked at a child care center in downtown Des Moines as both a resource teacher and then a lead teacher in one of the preschool rooms.

Reviewed on 9/18/2019
Rachel has been a full-time nanny for our two boys since our youngest was 12 weeks old. (He is now 3.5) She has been a truly loving caregiver to both of them, and we feel so lucky to have her in our lives. Every day she plans fun outings to the park, library, or some other activity, and she has been essential to helping us with things like potty training, tying shoes, and other developmental milestones over the years. She is thoughtful, reliable, and extremely skilled at dealing with young kids, from the newborn stage to reading Harry Potter to an eager second grader. We trust her with everything, and she has also welcomed our exuberant and slightly misbehaved dog into her life as well. I would be more than willing to speak to anyone looking to hire Rachel in the future. I can't recommend her highly enough!
