A little bit about me

Hello! I am a transplant to the State College area and looking to get started with a career in nannying. I’ve discovered through lots of trial and error that I love nothing more than watching little ones learn and explore their world and helping them to do it in a constructive, meaningful way. I’d love to work with babies and toddlers especially, though I enjoy spending time with kids of any age! I have a working knowledge of infant and youth development as well as science and science and education. As a neurodivergent person, it’s especially important to me that children with mental and physical disabilities be treated with the respect, dignity, and humanity necessary to grow into their full selves, so I am more than comfortable working with those who may have higher support needs or medical concerns. I look forward to learning more about you and your family!

A little bit about me

Hello, I am Rachel! I am a student majoring in psychology with an emphasis on child psychology and am a College. I love children and have always had a passion for teaching them and watching them grow. I have been working with children for 7 years now. I have been a babysitter for multiple families, a nanny for 2 years, and a full-time child care provider for a daycare for a year and a half. I have worked with children as young as 7 weeks and as old as sixth grade. I am very patient and do not get overwhelmed easily. I like to run on a schedule and have activities for children to do throughout the day to make it run smoother. I am very excited to have the opportunity to work with children again! I have been quarantined with my family for 6 weeks and have not been sick. My whole family also got tested and it came back negative for the Coronavirus.
