My name is Raquel, I am a kind and empathetic Certified Clinical Medical Assistant (CCMA) and Phlebotomist. I have RBT (Registered Behavioral Technician) experience in a clinical setting and for the last few years have consistently worked with Autistic children but not limited to. I am BLS and CPR certified, and am eager to provide your loved ones with the best care possible. I have 2 great kids, ages 14 and 16, and 2 miniature dachshunds. I am very patient and connect quickly with children of all ages. This part of my life is so more than just a job to me, as I grew up with a brother with severe down syndrome in addition to my son having ASD and ADHD. I also really love working with newborns. I treat each family I work with as I would my own. I am dedicated, reliable, efficient, trustworthy, and organized. I can provide cooking and light housekeeping. I'm happy to be around family pets. I also speak Spanish. Thank you for taking the time to consider me. Raquel

    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.
