I am a compassionate hardworking child caregiver with 13-years of experience. I love children and have found childcare to be an incredibly rewarding and fun experience. I am currently a Special Education paraprofessional for Denver Public Schools. Before accepting this job I worked as an English Teacher in Peru for a year. Before moving to Peru I was the Director of Programs at a nonprofit youth center and daycare located in the Sun Valley neighborhood in Denver. Through this position, I have gained extensive knowledge about child psychology. I planned and facilitated daily field trips, led educational and creative activities, organized recreation and mindfulness exercises, and more. During college, I cared for twin three-year-olds and a nine-year-old girl for 3 years. With spending about 10 hours a day with these children I prepared healthy meals, did housework, helped with homework, took the children to activities, changed diapers, gave baths, designed Read more developmentally stimulating activities for the children, and engaged in lots of play. While working for this family I learned how to be an extension of the parents by maintaining strong lines of communication with them. I have cared for a number of families over the years and have experience with multiples, newborns, toddlers, grade school-aged kids, and teenagers. I am energetic, dependable, creative, and patient. I am committed to providing your family the best care. Additionally, I have worked as a swim instructor teaching children of all ages how to swim. I would be happy to work on swimming with your children if desired. Through my vast experience, developmental psychology classes in college, and my extensive research in childcare I have developed a deep understanding of children of all ages. I am Lifeguard, First Aid and CPR certified for Adult and Pediatrics by the American Red Cross and American Heart Association. I also have a variety of other certifications that were required to work in a childcare center such as playground safety, medication administration, standard precautions, FEMA, etc. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your children and hopefully make a lasting connection

Rachel is not only a great sitter but a wonderful person as well. My 7 year old loves her and she is outgoing and professional right from the start! She is kind and considerate and it's obvious how much she loves children. Playing games, making meals and most important to me...does a great job cleaning up after : ) Not only have I used her myself but I have recommended her to friends as well. If the schedule worked, I would hire her in a minute to watch my newborn too when I go back to work. Any family would be lucky to have her
