About Archie
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
Hi! My name is Rachel, a 32-year-old artist & lover of life. I have over 10 years of paid childcare experience with kids of all ages. Mutual trust & open communication with a child's guardian(s) is very important for me in sustaining work with a family. I follow all house rules, guidelines, & (of course!) any & all suggested types of play! My approach to childcare is in the vein of gentle parenting, Montessori, & deep listening. I bring my own beliefs in time spent outdoors, laughter, emotional intelligence, self-expression, curiosity & the importance of arts/creativity. As a member of the LGBTQ community, I also bring the belief that all children should be free & encouraged to live their full truth in all that they do. Playtime is serious business for me & I am always thinking of new ways to help kids discover, learn, & grow through our relationship. I hope to meet you & your family soon!

Archie has been amazing from the start, and it is clear that he takes the comfort and care of children very seriously. We had an introductory visit where they played together and everyone got to know each other, and he went to lengths to make sure that he understood our rules and routines before our first bed-time visit. I have only seen him interact with our child, but from what I've seen, I believe he has a gift. Our child (3 years old) loves playing with Archie and requests repeat visits every time. He is exciting, engaging, and has undeniable positive energy. There is plenty of active outdoor and imaginative play, as well as quality quiet time when needed. Archie communicates quickly and clearly, and has always been on time. He also has handled basic pet-care for us (crazy cat and large dog) during child-care visits. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Archie to anyone, and am incredibly grateful for his services every time we need them.
