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.

I met with Rachel to interview for a part-time babysitting position and was very impressed with her poise, professional attitude and background. She arrived early for the interview and followed up very quickly with her resume and references, which checked out favorably.
