Nanny in St. Thomas, Ontario

Hello Prospective Families, My name is Rachel, I am 43 years old and have been successful at owning and operating a home childcare in the past, for an eleven year span. I deeply enjoy caring for children and have made the choice to return to childcare, and focus my skills on one family. In 2013, I chose to close my daycare to return to education where I successfully obtained a degree in social work. I have been working in the field of violence against women since my graduation. I truly feel returning to childcare is the right step for me. I intend to utilize my skills as an educator to help your child get a head start in school as well as in life. I would like to thank you for taking the time to review my profile. Rachel.
