Hello! Thank you for taking the time to review my profile. -About Me- I moved to Seattle about a year ago and have fallen in love with the PNW! I spend most of my free time exploring with my golden retriever, Grace. I enjoy a large variety of hobbies, such as hiking, photography, music, crafts, and sports. -Childcare Background & Approach- I have over 15 years of experience caring for children from infancy through the teenage years. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, stable environment with a focus on fun, learning, and balance. I routinely plan outings, activities, etc. to keep them engaged and happy while also ensuring that they have downtime to recharge. I recognize that all families and all children are different, can quickly adapt my approach based on the uniqueness of each child and the needs of the family. -Other Services- Housekeeping tasks/laundry (beyond basic Read more tidying/child clean up), grocery shopping/errands, cooking/meal prep, transportation to/from activities.

Rachael worked with our family for 10 years, and we truly cannot say enough wonderful things about her. She was extraordinary from day one! She is reliable, responsible, warm, and capable. Over the years she cared for our children from infancy (10 months) through their early teens, and she supported our family through every stage with grace and good judgment. Rachael handled daily routines and logistics with ease: driving the kids everywhere they needed to be, making dinner, keeping the house tidy, and even accompanying us on family vacations. When we traveled without the children, she stayed at our home and managed everything seamlessly. She followed instructions perfectly, but one of her greatest strengths was her ability to anticipate needs and figure things out independently when no guidance was provided. She is incredibly creative and playful, and our children formed a deep bond with her that has lasted even after she moved too far away to continue working with us. Even once our kids were older and no longer needed a nanny, Rachael continued helping our family with extra driving, errands, and personal shopping. She's also wonderful with animals, and our pets adored her. Rachael is trustworthy, intuitive, and exceptional in every way. I would hire her again for absolutely anything. Any family would be lucky to have her.
