About Rachel

Experience: 10 yrs

Hi, my name is Rachel, and I'm a 38-year-old writer and editor who always seems to want to return to infant nannying. This has been a part-time job/joy since I was 18. I've worked with over 10 infants and their families over the years. Why specialize in caring for infants? My reasons are manifold: I seem to have a way with them. I find them fascinating, enlivening, and downright adorable. They feed my energy, and I enjoy helping families through the transition of their first child. I also appreciate that babies don't carry illness as often as older kids, which makes this a more sustainable part-time job for me. I spend the mornings working on my novel, but I am available for afternoons and evenings. I have references, infant CPR training, and considerable experience. Vaxxed against COVID and whooping cough. I hope to hear from you soon!

We love Rachel! Anyone’s child would be in great hands with her! She was super attentive to my son’s needs, helping aide his development, made sure to keep us updated throughout the day, and always noticed the small things like when he was extra tired or showing signs of illness. My son loved her! So kind and caring and truly treated him like her own. We’re so thankful we were able to have her as our nanny.
