Today we’d like to introduce you to Ivory Rakell.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
My passion for working with children comes from both my personal and caregiving experiences. As a mother of two, I understand the importance of providing a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment where children can grow, learn, and feel valued. Being a parent has taught me patience, responsibility, communication, and the ability to meet the unique needs of each child.
I genuinely enjoy spending time with children, helping them learn through play, encouraging their creativity, and supporting their development. I take pride in creating positive experiences that help children feel comfortable, confident, and cared for. My experience as a mother has strengthened my passion for childcare and motivates me to make a positive difference in the lives of the children and families I serve.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
It has not always been a smooth road. One of the biggest challenges has been balancing the responsibilities of being a mother of two while pursuing my goals in childcare and lifestyle content creator. There have been times when managing schedules, meeting family needs, and handling unexpected situations required a great deal of patience and flexibility.
Another challenge has been learning how to meet the different needs and personalities of each child. Every child is unique, and I have worked hard to develop strong communication, problem-solving, and caregiving skills to provide the best support possible.
These experiences have helped me grow both personally and professionally. They have taught me resilience, time management, adaptability, and the importance of creating a safe and nurturing environment for children. The challenges have strengthened my passion for childcare and reinforced my commitment to helping children learn, grow, and thrive.

Every challenge has reinforced my commitment to serving families and creating a positive impact in my community.
Is there something surprising that you feel even people who know you might not know about?
Something that may surprise people is that before starting my babysitting business and creating lifestyle content, I worked helping homeless veterans find resources such as housing and childcare. That work gave me a deeper understanding of the challenges many families face and strengthened my passion for helping others.
My journey into entrepreneurship was not planned. After losing my 9-to-5 job, I decided to turn a difficult situation into an opportunity to pursue something I truly love. With the support of my husband, Myles, and my family, I was able to build a babysitting business and begin creating lifestyle content. As a mother of two, I combined my passion for caring for children with my desire to create meaningful content that inspires and connects with others.
Today, I not only provide babysitting services, but I also create lifestyle content that shares my experiences as a mother, business owner, and caregiver. My journey has taught me resilience, adaptability, and the importance of believing in yourself even when life takes an unexpected turn.
