I’m a 17-year-old high school student, three-sport athlete, and soon-to-be college lacrosse player at Furman University!
As the second oldest of four kids, I’ve been surrounded by little ones my whole life—and I’ve loved babysitting for neighbors, family, and my younger cousins (and my own little brother!) for the past five years. I’ve also been a licensed driver for over a year, so I’m mobile and reliable.
Whether it’s playing games, helping with homework, making dinner, baking cookies, tidying up, or just keeping things organized and fun—I’m your go-to! I love working with kids and always bring lots of energy, patience, and a big-sister vibe to every family I babysit for.
I can travel to neighboring suburbs/towns of Chadds Ford for work.

Hi, I'm Raquel. I'm 18 and I love kids! I'm new at babysitting but I'm positive that I could be a really successful babysitter. I enjoy interacting with children and getting to explore their unique personalities and traits! To me, teaching children about their emotions and how to handle them is important. This means that I take care in the way that I speak to them and treat them so that they are able to learn about their emotions they grow. I want to pursue finance in College and I'm an honor roll student! I'm enrolled at Penn State University (A branch campus) for the fall and I currently work at Giant as a cashier. I also used to work at an elementary/middle school as an aftercare associate before I gradutated.
