We had Rachel as our nanny for the past 6 months. She started when our daughter was 3 months and mom headed back to work. Quickly, she developed a loving relationship with our daughter. Every day Rachel showed up our daughter grinned from ear to ear. We had Rachel start at 7am and she showed up 5 minutes early every morning and stayed late whenever we asked. She followed our directions to a T and never complained when we asked her to do some additional duties. Rachel always had a smile and it was obvious she truly enjoyed her time caring for our daughter. We recently moved to Wisconsin which caused our relationship to end. But I would recommend her to anyone looking for a care giver. We'll definately miss her.

I strongly recommend Rachel, who was with our daughter Nora from the time she was four months old until she was a year old. She has been incredibly patient and loving,has a wonderful, relaxed demeanor, and is super-reliable.
