Hi my name is Rachel and I'm 42 years old. My childcare experience goes back well into my own childhood when I was tasked with caring for my younger siblings at a very young age. My younger sister has cerebral palsy and I've grown up caring for her. This instilled in me a caring nature, patience, a unique outlook on life and an appreciation for those around us who have special needs. I am a mother of 3 grown children. I have to brag just a little and say that I've raised some of the greatest kids you could ever ask for. They are smart, happy, loved by all who know them, kind to everyone they meet, involved in their communities. I am a strong believer in the attachment theory and it served me well raising my children. I've been a nanny/ long term care giver for several other children Read more during their infant and toddler years and believe that Constancy Care (mirroring the parenting style of the primary caregivers) is key in keeping a child happy and relaxed while transitioning into the care of secondary caregivers. It makes the flow of care more fluid when the level of care continues at the same standard. Choosing a caregiver should never be about who is the cheapest, it's about who can maintain the gold standard of care you've set forth for your children and I do my best to maintain that. I have an extensive list of questions to go over before taking an assignment and will ask many more during. Caring for your child isn't a sticky note kind of task. Your child is a complex human being and I want to know that your child and you are happy with your care situation at all times. Constant evaluation of how things are going, changes in mood, behavior's, etc are an indication of that. If you're looking for an excellent caregiver please don't hesitate to contact me. I'll respond shortly. *ALLERGIC TO CATS* Dogs are fine
