Hi, I'm Rachel! I’m a calm, caring, and dependable person who genuinely loves caring for children and finds being of service deeply rewarding. I was also a full-time nanny for a 1-year-old earlier in life and have helped care for my two nephews, now 12 and 15, throughout their lives. As an artist and writer, I love encouraging creativity and imagination through art, games, stories, music, dancing, and outdoor play. I’m warm and playful while providing healthy boundaries, and prefer active engagement over screens. I’m hoping to find a family I can support consistently and grow with long-term. I’m also happy to help with cooking, errands, light cleaning, laundry, and organizing—and I love animals!
Hello! My name is Paige and I have spent the last seven years dedicated to making a positive impact on the lives of the children I care for. My experience has shaped me into a patient, creative, and approachable caregiver who is comfortable managing the needs of up to four children, ranging from infants to pre-teens. I hold a college degree and maintain current CPR Training and First Aid Training. I am happy to assist with meal preparation, carpooling, and light housekeeping while following your preferred communication method for daily updates. I am very comfortable enforcing your household rules to ensure a consistent environment. I truly look forward to becoming a supportive part of your family's daily life.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
