Hi, my name is Rachel! I am a therapist during the day. I love children. I have been babysitting for about 13 years now. I worked with the 2 year olds who are currently learning potty training, letter recognition, colors, shapes, numbers, ABC's, etc. I have also worked with school age children too at the YMCA. Working with children has always put a smile on my face. I also use to help out at the hospital, because I'm also a birth doula. If you have any questions or anything at all, feel free to send me a message! -Rachel

I had an interview set up with Rachel and she did not show up and did not call to reschedule or cancel. I am in a bind with trying to find someone quick and this caused me a lot of inconvenience.

Rachel just started babysitting for my preschool-aged daughter and we are very happy with her. She is dependable and my daughter had a lot of fun when Rachel came to babysit.

This was my first time using a sitter on this site. Rachel was very professional and my children took to her pretty easily. My children are asking for her to come back. This makes us smile. I definitely would recommend Rachel to anyone. Thank you hun!

Rachel is great! Both of our kids (3 and almost 1) took to her well. The older one was crying a bit when we left, but Rachel texted me about 20 min later to tell me all was well---I thought that was nice. She is very responsive, plays with the kids, and kindly left our kitchen quite neat after feeding the kids dinner. I highly recommend Rachel.

I cannot say enough great things about Rachel - my family was coming to town for a wedding and needed someone to stay with our two girls. Rachel happily agreed to sit for us on less than a week's notice, having never met us before. Before we even met, she was very communicative and professional, asking relevant questions about the girls and volunteering a reference before I even had to ask. She definitely spent a good amount of time just preparing herself to be with the kids, which impressed me a lot. My kids are generally shy around new people, but both of them immediately took to Rachel and were so happy to be with her. She definitely has a great way with kids! She was caring, attentive, and so accommodating with all of us - she sent me several messages throughout the night so that I would know how things were going back at the hotel, and even agreed to stay a bit later than planned when I asked. Rachel is thoughtful, conscientious, and very caring with children - I only wish she lived in our hometown so we could have her babysit more for us - I would absolutely recommend her to anyone! Thanks Rachel :)
