I feel blessed to have been able to work with RaChelle for the last 6 years.  You could not find a more professional, positive person!  I have used the full time nanny placement service as well as occasional babysitters for a night out.  Rachelle is super responsive, very caring, and ALWAYS follows through.  She somehow always finds a way to help us when we're in a pinch.

We have greatly appreciated Rachelle's services. She has found us temporary
nannies on short notice and our current nanny is the most professional we
have had. We are very pleased with Rachelle's ability to find the right
nanny for our particular situation. She is a pleasure to work with, and I
recommend her to any family looking for any type of childcare.

As a new resident to Des Moines, I placed an email request for information on Central Iowa Nannies and was over-joyed with the immediate response and helpful service from RaChelle.  In a matter of a day, I had pre-screened candidates that all fit our needs.  RaChelle quickly understood our family's need, what we were looking for in a nanny, and most importantly, delivered us options that truly fit our family!  RaChelle is outstanding at assessing needs and providing high-quality candidates.  And her customer service skills on following up and following through are outstanding.  I had absolutely no concern that I would not be able to find someone at the time table we needed thanks to RaChelle's constant care and concern for our family which was relocating to the area!  I highly recommend RaChelle and her services to any family needing a FT nanny, temporary summer nanny or baby-sitting, back up quality care.  We are grateful to have found RaChelle!  We thank you for making our transition to Des Moines an easy one!

"RaChelle was sooo efficient not only in replying to my requests instantly,
but also, in referring high quality nannies that fit my family's unique
needs. She was both very professional and truly thoughtful through the
entire process. Easily a joy to work with!"

When I first contacted RaChelle, I was in immediate need of a nanny while stressed about finding the right person to care for our children.  RaChelle was great to work with, she spent time learning about our family's needs and helped us to find a nanny that has become a part of our family.  There is a nanny for each family out there and RaChelle takes the time to find the right match between families and nannies.  Most importantly, RaChelle is a mom first, so she understands the importance of trusting the person who cares for your children.  I have recommended friends to RaChelle, which is the best compliment I can give her- she cares about the families she serves.
