Hello! I am a pediatric Occupational Therapist, so I have extensive experience and education in the field of child development. Before completing my OT degree, I gained 10+ years of childcare experience in many different settings. I am experienced with children from newborn infants up through teenagers. Because I work with children with various special needs and challenges in my career, I am comfortable in unpredictable or stressful situations, and I am able to maintain my high level of patience and understanding. I am CPR certified (re-certified Jan 2020) and conversational in Spanish. I have a clean driving record and my own transportation.

I went to the Mystic area with my elderly parents and 10-year old hyper son and was looking for someone to entertain my son for a few hours each day. I spoke w/Rachel and she seemed wonderful and she was. She was responsible, knew how to handle my son's mischievous behavior and even took my parents to the aquarium! I would definitely call her when I am in the area again and recommend her highly. Rayna
