Hi, I'm Rachel. I have over 14 years of experience babysitting and 3.5 years experience in a formal childcare setting, ages 6 weeks through twelve years, with most of my time being in the infant classroom. I have a bachelors degree in counseling and have also worked in the social work field. My child abuse clearances were updated March 2021 and my pediatric CPR and first aid certification was updated April 2021. But more important than my experience and education, I want to tell you a little bit about my values, because if those don't align with yours, I won't be a good fit for your family. - I believe in a gentle approach to teaching children. I recognize young children use behaviors and emotional dysregulation to communicate difficult emotions and I work to help them through that. - I believe children learn best through play, but it's also great Read more to add in some fun, guided activities to help them learn specific concepts and skills along the way too. - I believe in unconditional love and nurturing for all ages. Children deserve to be loved and treated with respect no matter what they are struggling with. - I do not believe that holding a baby "too much" can spoil them. Infants, toddlers, and children all have varying needs, more than just physical, and they communicate them in various ways. Children deserve to have their needs met in the way each individual needs.
