Hi! I’m Rachel. I grew up as the middle child with an older brother and a younger brother, so taking care of kids has pretty much been part of my life from the start. I spent a lot of time helping with my little brother, which taught me patience, responsibility, and how to handle the unexpected. I also have a dog at home, so I’m super comfortable around pets and love having them around while I’m babysitting. Last summer, I worked as a camp counselor at a drowning-prevention camp in Uganda, where I helped kids ages 4–12. It was one of the most meaningful experiences I’ve had, and it really strengthened my ability to work with different personalities and energy levels. I currently tutor a few middle schoolers in science over Zoom and have experience teaching a student with ADHD, so I’m familiar with supporting different learning needs. I also help my friends’ younger siblings with homework pretty often. Overall, I love being around kids, staying engaged with them, and creating a fun and safe environment. I’d be excited to get to know your family!

Hi my name is Kostoula Dalavouras. I have hands-on experience in early childhood education, where I focus on supporting and nurturing the developmental needs of young children. In addition to my professional background, I also have personal experience caring for my neighbors kids and my 1-year-old godson and my nephews, who are 1.5 and 2 years old. This has given me a deep understanding of the different stages of development and the needs of children at various ages. I enjoy babysitting on weekends and weekday nights, creating a safe, engaging, and fun environment where kids can thrive. Whether through play, learning, or offering comfort, I love seeing children grow and develop in a positive, supportive atmosphere.

I have limited but meaningful, informal childcare experience, including babysitting a coworker’s three-year-old child. Through this, I’ve developed basic skills in supervision, safety, communication, and age-appropriate care. I am currently enrolled in an EMT course, which is strengthening my responsibility, situational awareness, and ability to remain calm in dynamic environments. I am eager to gain additional hands-on experience working with children and to continue building skills in caregiving, safety, and support.
