Hello! I’m Rachel, a dedicated and highly responsible childcare provider with over a decade of experience supporting families. While I currently serve as a Climate Resiliency Specialist at the NOAA Office of Science and Technology, I have a lifelong passion for working with children and fostering safe, engaging environments for them to grow. With a Master’s degree in Marine Conservation and Policy and a career built on regulatory compliance and project management, I bring a unique level of professionalism and reliability to my childcare roles. I am an excellent communicator who values transparency and safety above all else. Childcare Experience Large Families & Infant Care: I have 10 years of experience babysitting for large families, frequently managing up to 4 children at once. I am highly experienced with a wide age range, from newborns (3 weeks old) to energetic 6-year-olds. Swim Instruction: As noted on my LinkedIn, I have served Read more as a Swim Teacher, where I focused on water safety, confidence building, and skill development for young swimmers. Educational Oversight: I previously worked as a Senior Administrative Assistant for the SEIT Department at NY Therapy Placement Service. In this role, I monitored the delivery of special education services (including Physical, Occupational, and Speech therapy) for children aged 3–5, ensuring all developmental and educational mandates were met. Mentorship: During my time at Stony Brook University, I served as a Resident Assistant, where I mentored students, facilitated mediation, and organized inclusive social events to foster a positive environment. My Approach to Care I believe in being more than just a sitter; I aim to be a positive role model and a helping hand for busy parents. Because of my professional background, I am extremely organized and adept at managing shifting priorities and logistics. Whether it’s supervising swim time, assisting with early childhood development, or managing a household with multiple children, I am committed to providing high-quality, attentive care. I look forward to meeting your family!
