Hi and welcome!
My name is Rachelle Dell, otherwise known as “Ms Rachelle”.
I have been working with hundreds of families in the United States and abroad for the last 25 years. I have worked with many children and their parents in a variety of areas. I have worked with kids and teens on everything from trying new foods and creating chore lists and allowance schedules to learning how to make friends and exude confidence when speaking in public. I’ve never advertised, just gotten business by word of mouth. However, now that I have gotten busier and began to reach a larger clientele, I decided to start a website to help parents navigate the demands for my services.
My experience working with children has ranged from working as an elementary and middle school teacher for more than 10 years, owning and operating a tutoring business, organizing and directing summer day care camps, coaching swim and other sports teams, and teaching English abroad and to ESL students here in the US. All of these experiences and more have given me fantastic insight into the minds and behaviors of children. Using positivity, clear and concise directions and possessing the innate ability in knowing how far to push and pull has helped me to become known as the “child whisperer.”
I truly enjoy teaching children anything and everything and love working with their parents too! If you are having any issues with a child, or would just like some advice and encouragement, I can help!
This website will help you book sessions working with me as a family coach, a swim instructor or both.

Family coaching (Year Round)
I am passionate about helping others, especially when it comes to families with children. My education, travel and vast life experiences help me to connect with all types of people and with all different family dynamics. I believe the importance of a successful life begins with the family unit. I will utilize my experiences to help strengthen the relationships between your family members and improve how your family functions as a whole.
Swim lessons (May-September)
I am a certified Water Safety Instructor and currently work in the summers in my backyard pool teaching private, one-on-one lessons. I have been teaching children and adults to swim for over 25 years. I developed my own program which teaches swimming both quickly and effectively. Whether you or your child are just beginning or you’re training for a triathlon, I can help!
Rachelle, Charlotte worked really hard with you yesterday. It was awesome. Afterward she whispered to me “I really liked that lesson. Can I do a couple more with her?”
Thanks for your guidance. I was really excited to hear that she liked being pushed out of her comfort zone.

My wife and I got almost as much out of watching, listening to, and talking with Rachelle as our daughter did!” Rachelle will be not only be a coach but also an ally (what parent doesn't need a few of these?) Rachelle will help your child and your entire family!”
Ross and Heather Murfin
Huge milestone for Deegan today! She swam almost the length of the pool and her stroke/kicks were solid! It was a dramatic improvement! She’s never even been able to come close to that. Thanks for what you did!
Dan and Holly Barnes
Just had to let you know that we took Henry to the creek with his cousins and everyone was blown away by how much more comfortable he is in the water now. We were singing your praises!

“Rachelle is the best swim teacher ever! We tried several swim schools and were convinced our son would never put his head under water. Rachelle got him to do it within the first week!”
