I started caring for children at church in our nursery as well as Sunday School teacher & children's choir director. All of these take love & patience. 💓 After marriage, I had my own children. I followed them to school and worked in the public schools for many years. I worked the After-school Programs, taught Enrichment classes with 20-30 kids, and I tutored students in small groups or even one on one. I also tutored & trained children in their homes (ages 1-15) in various subjects including potty training, table manners, homework, structure, routine and more. Because every child is different, I’m aware that the training, teaching & structure I use is not the same for each child. I also worked in Child Care Centers & Day Cares. Pluses: 🥰 I enjoy cleaning, keeping things tidy, decluttering & organizing. I will do laundry, food prep, bath the kids and teach Read more them responsibility because children are never too young to be responsible. Because I'm a visual learner, I teach in that way. I see the potential in each child. I enjoy playing games, music & reading. I have been around children all my life. I enjoy children and bringing the good out of each one. I love that they love me as well. I am currently a teacher in our Children's Ministry Program at our church. I was the Children's Director for years but stepped down due to other roles I carried in my church. In my previous elementary school, several children called me "mom". The parents really enjoyed it because they knew that I would care for their children while they were in school. Still, today, as kids see me in stores, they'll run to me and call me "mom'. :) It’s so precious. ☺️

Rachel has been a part-time caregiver for us and our twin toddler girls. She’s been both a consummate professional and like a second Mom! She always has ideas to help, shows compassion and sensitivity to the girls, and somehow finds ways to organize and support the household in general. We are so happy to have found her!
