Hi my name is Rachel! I'm currently a student at Houston community college however will be transferring to the university of Houston next semester for education! I have about 8 years of experience working with children and have loved meeting and working with different age groups and developing skills. My journey started with babysitting/ nannying and has progressed to working at daycare's, special education and Montessori schools. Looking forward to working with you and creating a fun and loving environment :) Fun fact! I also have a medical background. I was a medical assistant for a pediatric clinic for three years.
