Hello! My name is Rae, short for Rachel. I am a bubbly and energetic 35-year-old woman who has a deep love and adoration for children. As a mother of five, ranging in ages from 19 to 8 (including a disabled child), I understand the challenges and joys that come with raising a diverse group of children. Currently, I am pursuing a degree in Construction Management at college. Life has presented me with unexpected challenges. After the passing of my ex-husband, I found myself alone, responsible for my five children. I had to put a hold on my career aspirations to prioritize their well-being. Unfortunately, I also experienced a domestic violence relationship, resulting from a poor decision made while grieving. This experience led to the loss of the career I had worked hard to achieve. Although I enjoyed the corporate life, I have come to realize that my true calling lies in helping others, especially those who have experienced trauma. While my Healthcare Professional Certification, including BLS (Adult CPR, Child CPR, and Infant CPR), Emergency Basic First Aid, Blood-borne Pathogens, and Cognitive A.E.D. Skills, has expired, I am committed to renewing them in the near future. Reliability is one of my core strengths, and I am always available, even on short notice. Punctuality is important to me, and I strive to be on time, if not earlier, when you need last-minute assistance. I conduct myself in a professional manner and have the ability to maintain authority and discipline, according to your preferences. Kindness, respect, and politeness are values that I hold dear. I approach every situation with a positive attitude and am known for being trustworthy and well-mannered. I understand the importance of privacy and always respect boundaries. I am fully devoted to helping those in need and making a positive impact in their lives. With extensive experience working with children of all ages, particularly infants, toddlers, and those with autism or severe mental health challenges, I find joy in playing and teaching children something new every day. I believe in teaching healthy coping mechanisms to manage overwhelming emotions. I am excited to meet new smiling little faces and contribute to their growth and well-being.
