Rachel $30 per hour for 1 child
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!
