About Rachel

Experience: 7 yrs

I am an experienced caregiver with a strong background in education, outdoor leadership, and youth mentorship. Over the years, I have worked with thousands of children as a Naturalist and Health Specialist at Exploring New Horizons Outdoor School, an Outdoor Education Intern with Wallowa Resources, and through many hands-on teaching and childcare roles. I bring patience, creativity, and reliability to every family I work with, and I love creating safe, engaging environments where children can learn, grow, and explore. With my Wilderness First Responder certification, CPR/First Aid training, and a Bachelor's degree in Environmental Science, I bring both professionalism and a deep love for nurturing children's curiosity about the world around them.

We truly could not have asked for a better nanny than Rachel. She is kind, gentle, and confident with our child, while always respecting and following our lead as parents. Our child absolutely adored her! She cared deeply about our little one’s growth, helped them reach important milestones, and made outdoor time and daily walks a priority. Rachel often went above and beyond, helping around the house when she could and being wonderful with our dog. We feel incredibly lucky to have had her and highly recommend her!
