About me

Hi! I am Rachel Rifkin, a born-and-raised Angelino with a deep-rooted passion for nurturing young minds and hearts. Growing up in the middle of the entertainment industry alongside my older sister and three younger siblings, I found solace and inspiration in the boundless realms of creativity – be it through music, art, or any avenue of expression. This early fascination laid the foundation for my journey into early childhood education during my college years, where I immersed myself in the study of mental health and child development, driven by a singular passion: to help children feel unconditionally loved, supported, and celebrated.

With over a decade of hands-on experience, my career has been a tapestry woven with diverse roles and enriching encounters. From serving as an Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapist for children with Autism to nurturing relationships as a trusted babysitter, nanny, and mental health companion, I've traversed the entire spectrum of childhood, from the tender embrace of infancy to the dynamic challenges of adolescence. Throughout this journey, my heart has swelled with joy as I've witnessed the unique growth and development of each child, regardless of age or background.

Certified in CPR, and First Aid, and fully vaccinated, I bring not only a dedication to safety but also a genuine understanding of the intricacies of childhood development. It is with an unwavering commitment to compassion, creativity, and professionalism that I approach every interaction, endeavoring to forge meaningful connections, provide unwavering support and foster environments where children can flourish. I am thrilled at the prospect of bringing my blend of passion and expertise to your team, where I am confident I can continue to make a positive impact in the lives of the children we serve.
