About Raquel

Experience: 10 yrs

As a friendly and approachable childcare provider with over a decade of experience, I've had the privilege of positively shaping young minds. My passion for nurturing children stems from my previous babysitting roles, where I discovered the joy of caring for little ones. I believe in open and honest communication with parents, ensuring their preferred method is followed when discussing their child's day or addressing any issues that may arise. I'm also very comfortable enforcing household rules, providing a structured and safe environment for the children in my care. From outdoor sports and physical games to board games and puzzles, I enjoy a variety of activities with children. I'm also comfortable with technology-based games and apps, ensuring that I can keep up with the ever-changing interests of the young ones. I'm certified in First Aid and CPR, and I've completed some college courses.

Our 20-month-old daughter absolutely adores Raquel. After going through several caregivers, we are thrilled to have Raquel as a regular part of our weekly routine. She is so much more than just a babysitter. Raquel has a natural talent for connecting with children, and she engages with our little one with such love and care, turning every moment into a joyful adventure. She brings a wealth of experience and creativity to her interactions, always coming up with new games and activities that keep our daughter entertained and stimulated. Our daughter spends her time with Raquel laughing endlessly and enjoying every bit of playtime, which leads to the most peaceful naps. Raquel's warm and nurturing presence makes her feel like a part of our family. She is incredibly attentive and always prioritizes our daughter's safety and well-being. Her genuine affection and dedication shine through in everything she does, and we deeply appreciate the positive impact she has on our daughter's life. We wholeheartedly welcome Raquel into our home and look forward to many more happy moments together.
