About Rachael
Experience: 10 yrs
Hello! Thank you for taking the time to review my profile. I moved to Seattle a year ago and have fallen in love with the PNW! I spend most of my free time exploring with my golden retriever, Grace. I enjoy a large variety of hobbies, such as hiking, photography, music, crafts, and sports. I have over 15 years of experience caring for children from infancy through the teenage years. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, stable environment with a focus on fun, learning, and balance. I routinely plan outings, activities, etc. to keep them engaged and happy while also ensuring that they have downtime to recharge. I recognize that all families and all children are different. I can quickly adapt my approach based on the uniqueness of each child and the needs of the family. I'm currently looking for a position around 20-30 hours per week in the early afternoons/evenings. My pay rate has ranged from $35-$40, so I'm flexible and open to figuring out hours/pay that works for everyone.
Most recent review
We feel so lucky to have found Rachael. She quickly earned both of my kids’ trust with her warm, playful energy and genuine attention to who they are. She makes everyday routines fun (like turning breakfast into “astronaut fuel” when my son was into space) and remembers small details that make my kids feel safe and understood. She’s reliable, on time, easy to communicate with, and always asks, “How can I help?” before jumping in. What stands out most is how calmly and proactively she handles situations — anticipating tough moments, keeping things safe, and guiding my kids with warmth and confidence. I trust her completely driving my kids to daycare each morning. Any family would be lucky to have her.
