Hi! I'm Rachel! I love kids and helping families! I enjoy playing outside with the children and caring for them and meeting their needs. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for kids and their families. I’ve been a nanny in L.A. for 4 years and I’ve been a paid childcare provider for 15 years. As the nanny, reading skills development teacher and childcare provider for a Los Angeles family I read books, taught good grammar practices, and worked on reading skills development with a child from the age of three to seven years old. I also provided a safe learning environment which facilitated learning. While working with the child, he developed better reading and writing skills along with a deeper understanding of reading, writing, and grammar. We also played outside and I took him to his extra-curricular activities. I prepared his meals as well. I also helped care Read more for his sister. I watched these children from the ages of 3 to 7 and 6 to 10. I’ve also taken care of numerous L.A. family’s children. I was an elementary school art teacher. I started a dance and theater program in which students exhibited their skills through a performance for their parents and friends. I have been a lifeguard, and swim instructor. I'm an excellent swimmer, I am available to teach swim lessons. I have had a certified background check and vehicle check through Sittercity. I am getting CPR and First Aid Certified. Thank you for considering me! Warmly, Rachel McFadden Activities for children: read books to them reading and writing skills development homework help teaching making art outdoor play sensory play extra-curricular activities Top Toys: 1. legos or blocks because they are great for sensory play 2. books because they are amazing for reading and writing skills development 3. balls of all sorts (basketball, kickball, soccer ball, tennis ball) because physical activity and being active is so important for child development 4. art supplies (crayons, paint, sculpting clay, etc.) because they are also great for sensory play and fine motor skills 5. ride toys (roller skates, bicycle, scooters, etc.) because they teach valuable lessons on sharing with siblings Activities I really enjoy: I am a backpacker, so I go on backpacking trips. I went on a 7 day trip and I've climbed Mt. Whitney- the highest point in the 48 contiguous U.S. I enjoy game nights with friends, reading, going on walks, visits to the mountains and to the beach.
