Introduction

Hello, my name is Rachel and I am a student currently studying Japanese in Takadanobaba. I am from Pittsburgh Pennsylvaia, USA. I am actually an accounting and tax technology consultant but decided to take a year and a half off of work to study Japanese (with the hopes of being able to work with Japanese clients when I return home).

I come from a very large family. I have nine siblings and currently have 18 nieces and nephews (and counting!). I became an aunt when I was 8 years old and have been babysitting regularly ever since. I have also done various babysitting jobs for non-family children over the years. I am very comfortable looking after babies and small children, as well as older children (my nieces and nephews range in age from newborns to their early twenties, so I have seen all age ranges).

I love traveling, music/singing, reading, and art (I had three minors in college and one of them was studio arts, which I did for fun). At home, I am a semi-professional stained-glass artist on the side. In Japan, I also really enjoy going to my gym and trying all the different fitness classes (ballet, zumba, yoga, weight lifting, and so on).

When babysitting, I love doing arts and crafts, sing-alongs, and reading books. I am also fond of games and activities with a learning focus.

CANCELLATION POLICY (all timing is calculated based on the start time of the scheduled sitting)
48+ hours before the scheduled sitting: No cancellation fee
Between 48-24 hours: 50% of sitting fee
Within 24 hours: 100% of sitting fee (+ transportation cost if on the way)

Experience

I have semi-regularly babysat various children ages newborn through thirteen (I have 18 nieces and nephews aged newborn through early twenties who I have babysat for over the years). I have also done external babysitting for various couples. I am comfortable caring for babies and with watching multiple children at one time.

Rachel is wonderful with children, and clearly has a lot of experience with them! She was able to keep my son calm and happy (7 mo) with a minimum of fuss. Highly recommended!

She speaks fluent English and is currently studying Japanese. Rachel is a very creatively minded person with a hobby in stained-glass art, and loves to find ways to bring out the creativity in children through arts and crafts projects, this makes her a wonderful fit for CareFinder families.
