Hi! I'm Rachel, recently relocated back to the Lehigh Valley. Caring for children has been part of my life for 20+ years. I spent 3 years helping raise two young children as a stepmom, sharing in their daily care 50% of the time-from potty training, meals and homework to bedtime, activities, sick days and travel. I also grew up in a licensed foster family that welcomed 7 long-term placements plus respite children, ranging from newborns to young kids, including medically fragile and special-needs children. Today, I also help care for my 18-month-old nephews. I'm Red Cross CPR certified with child care training, and my career in large-scale event operations has made me calm, organized and dependable. I'm open to after-school, infant/toddler, date night, backup, short-term and overnight newborn care. Most importantly, I genuinely love kids and would care for yours with warmth, patience and attention!
Rachel has provided amazing childcare for my 6 and 3 year old girls! She is dependable, professional and the girls love her. She kept my girls busy with activities such as LEGO, puzzles and art projects — definitely not idle childcare. She is also well versed in basic childhood development and behavior theories. She is present and emotionally available with my kids while maintaining boundaries and behavior expectations. Would highly recommend her care to any family!
