About Rachel

Experience: 15 yrs

Hey there! I'm an experienced caregiver with over a decade of experience with children aged 0-13. I have a Masters degree in educational psychology. Along with my caregiving experience, I'm a certified kids yoga and dance instructor and previously worked as a game/toy developer/researcher at top companies like Nickelodeon. I blend practical expertise with a solid educational foundation, creating a safe, stimulating environment for children to thrive. Committed to fostering creativity, learning, and open communication, I tailor my approach to each child's unique needs. CPR and first aid certified, I prioritize safety while building trusting relationships with both children and parents. Let me bring my passion for childcare and wealth of experience to your family's needs!

Rachel is absolutely one of the best babysitters we have ever experienced. She’s confident, kind, on time and the kids LOVE her. My daughter keeps wanting to visit NYC again to “see Rachel”. No question I will call her anytime and wish I could bring her back to California.
