Hello! My name is Rachel, and I am a recent college graduate and former student-athlete who recently moved back to California for my gap year before attending graduate school and pursuing a Doctorate in Physical Therapy. I am looking to earn extra income while doing work that I genuinely enjoy and find meaningful. I am offering child care, senior care, pet care, and household services. I have reliable transportation, and I am dependable, responsible, energetic, and committed to creating a safe, positive environment for everyone I work with. I love working with children and have experience caring for younger family members from a young age. In addition, I have worked with with preschool-aged children with complex special needs, visual impairments, and children on the autism spectrum. These experiences have helped me develop patience, creativity, strong communication skills, and the ability to adapt to each child's unique needs. I enjoy keeping children engaged through a variety of activities, including sports, outdoor play, board games, arts and crafts, reading, imaginative play, and educational activities. I strive to make every child feel supported, included, and encouraged while having fun. As someone pursuing a career in healthcare, I am passionate about helping others and building meaningful connections with families. Whether you need assistance with child care, pet care, household tasks, or support for a senior family member, I would love the opportunity to help.
