A little bit about me

Hello, I'm Rachel! I have a bachelors degree from Miami University and am currently in graduate school pursuing my masters of nursing at DePaul University. I started babysitting at 13 and since then have had numerous experiences helping a variety of families/kids. After my bachelors degree, I moved to Madrid, Spain and taught English in a primary school for 11 months. Additionally, I worked as a nursing assistant in a mother/infant unit at a hospital in Columbus, OH for four and a half years prior to moving to Chicago and am very comfortable with infants. I'm looking to babysit for an awesome family on occasion or part-time while I pursue my degree. I am CPR and Basic Life Support certified as well as COVID-19 and flu vaccinated. I'm a big kid at heart and love to be active, play games, spend time outdoors, and watch anything Disney! I am responsible, caring, and would love to help out a great family!
