About Rachel
Experience: 15 yrs
Hi, my name is Rachel, but the children love to call me Rae Rae. I have been taking care of children most of my life. It started when I was 16, while home schooled, I was a nanny for a toddler throughout the week. I am currently caring for one child in the north Alabama area. Sadly I will be leaving them in August, but happy because it is moving me back to live closer to family in Louisiana. Before this family I was a full-time nanny for two amazing families in south Louisiana. I started with the first family when they had their newborn. I was blessed to stay on with them for many years after. I ended up caring for all three of their children until the youngest started pre-school. I have also cared for another family, starting with their newborn until she started school as well. My nanny style is playful while teaching kids through day to day interactions. I use all interactions to teach manners, caring/sharing, and respect for everyone.
Most recent review
We feel incredibly lucky to have had Rachel ("Rae Rae") as part of our family for over a year. She has been a steady, reliable, and genuinely caring presence in our daughter’s life, and it is hard to overstate how much she has meant to us. She is consistently punctual, communicative, and flexible, which made day-to-day life run smoothly. More importantly, she brings a thoughtful and balanced approach to caregiving—patient and kind, while also maintaining clear and consistent boundaries. She has supported our daughter in exploring the world with confidence, while gently guiding her through the challenges that come with toddler emotions and impulsivity. Our daughter absolutely adores her, and we have complete trust in her judgment and care. She quickly understood and respected our household routines and expectations, and we always felt aligned as a team. We are truly sad to see her go, but we wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for exceptional childcare. She will bring warmth, stability, and joy into your home. Simply put, she is the real deal.
