Hello! My name is Rachel and I am a recently graduated nursing student from Drexel University, located in Ballard. I will likely begin a full time job as a Registered Nurse in December 2024 or early 2025, so I am currently looking for a short term position before then. I am also interested in one time or occasional babysitting, which I would also be open to continuing after I begin work as a nurse. I have over 4 years of experience as a nanny, which includes 3 years of infant care experience. I have experience with kids of all ages and with caring for up to 4 children at a time. I also coached soccer classes for 3 years for kids aged 18 months - 12 years. I was a short term au pair in Dublin, Ireland in the summer of 2022, providing live in care for a toddler for Read more a few months. I have also worked with infants and children in various clinical settings during my time in nursing school and I hope to go into pediatric or neonatal nursing! I am First Aid and CPR certified at the healthcare provider level. I am up to date on all vaccinations. My schedule is very flexible for the next few months. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to hearing from you!

Rachel was great with my daughter this week. My daughter is a 7 year old with high functioning ASD and ADHD. She watched her for a few hours and I came home to a happy kid that hugged Rachel goodbye. (Always a good sign). She is a good communicator, calm demeanor, friendly, and responsible. I am already looking to hire her again in the near future. Highly recommend.

Rachel was flexible when the initial plan did not pan out. She was focused at the tasks given, and was attentive to my son.

Rachel was great with our kids. She is punctual and flexible. My kids had a fun time with her and she was able to handle both a 6 and 2 year old with different interests. She is very calm and was even able to get my kids to sleep, which never happens with a new person. I would highly recommend hiring Rachel!
