But it has been an adjustment for Ms. Rachel to get used to the attention she gets and balancing it with motherhood. 
“It’s been hard to balance everything, which I think a lot of parents feel, but it was really important to me to have all that knowledge and early childhood to being in this field,” she told People in 2023. 
“I felt that it was crucial for me to have that and I feel more confident. I just feel like I have a lot of tools.
“I’ve learned to help parents and I think I have a good work-life balance. Sometimes it takes us a while to get things out, but it’s important to me to have that.”
