I love being a babysitter because I love working with children. I moved to Las Vegas from Los Angeles over five years ago. I am willing to negotiate on my rate. I currently work as a floater teacher/breaker at a preschool so I work with children from infants (he is almost a year) to 5 year olds Monday through Friday. I am a well seasoned and experienced babysitter. I have babysat children from almost 3 months to 14 years old. I have babysat up to 9 different children and 4 siblings before so I can watch more than one child and I am comfortable watching more than one child.I love babysitting children of all ages, especially babies, because I love watching children learn and gain knowledge, they are so much fun, I have a great time by playing toys, and games with them. While working with children, I like to Read more play, sing, have fun, and engage with them. Children tend to love and cherish me because I seem to connect and bond with them, they have fun with me, and they become comfortable with me.For a few years, I was a teacher's assistant and camp counselor at a temple I was attending a while back. I played in a youth basketball league for 6 years and I got an award for Courage and Leadership from the youth basketball league. I was an assistant basketball coach which was through volunteering. I love sports especially basketball and baseball. I have tutored. I am very caring, helpful, reliable, responsible, friendly, sweet, honest, a hard worker, and trustworthy. I am very comfortable with pets since I have two cats at home and grew up with many different animals like lizards, rabbits, tortoise, cats, and hamsters. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I received my bachelor's degree in Child and Adolescent Development from California State University, Northridge in 2015.I transferred to California State University, Northridge from Santa Monica College. When I was going to Santa Monica College, I majored in Early Childhood Education. I am bringing up my schooling because I know child development and age appropriate activities very well.

I needed a last minute babysitter for New Years Eve. I used Rachel because she was professional, reliable, easy going and responsible. My daughter had fun with her. Rachel even updated me throughout the night that everything was going well. I felt I could trust Rachel and everything went well. Kim Dore

Rachel is a very sweet & gentle care-giver. She was eager to play fun games with my son, and her formal educational background in child development also meant that she understood the importance of setting some boundaries. We're looking forward to having her back again soon!
