Bright, curious, creative, and energetic, I am passionate about exploring the natural world with kids. With 10+ years of work, travel, and personal growth experience, I have assembled a diverse toolbox for connecting with kids of varying ages, needs, and temperaments. I have built upon my natural aptitude for teaching with graduate-level education coursework and applied that to my work as a substitute teacher and SAT & ACT tutor. But I truly come alive outside! Nature-based, play-based, experiential adventures are my specialty. A NOLS-trained outdoor educator, I have also worked as a nature mentor; a hiking and biking trip leader; a ski and tennis instructor; and a winter naturalist. Since the pandemic, I have been employed as a nanny for several families, caring for mixed groups of children aged 6 mo - 8 years. I love games, arts & crafts, outdoor adventures, and having fun; and am currently available for part-time or temporary jobs that can fill in gaps in my regular schedule.

We hired Rachel while we were on vacation in Tahoe. We had a wonderful phone interview where she asked all of the right questions about our style of childcare. She was punctual, positive, and reliable on all of the days that she watched our daughter. She loves the outdoors and took out daughter and dog on walks as well as set up water play for our 2 year old outside. She checked in with updates and photos so that we could relax and enjoy ourselves, knowing that our daughter was safe and having fun too. We absolutely will contact her again in the future if we are up in the area she is highly recommended!
