Nanny in St. Thomas, Ontario

Hello Prospective Families, My name is Rachel, and at 45 years old, I bring a wealth of experience from having successfully run my own home childcare for eleven years. I find great joy in caring for children and have made the decision to focus my skills on one family. After closing my daycare in 2013 to pursue a degree in social work, I've dedicated my career to supporting victims of violence against women. I am excited to return to childcare, where I can blend my educational background with my passion for nurturing young minds, helping your child get a strong start in both school and life. Thank you for considering my profile. Rachel.
