Looking for work as a babysitter or nanny

  • Babysitter in Chicago, IL 60647

Meet Becca

  • Comfortable with pets
  • Has a car

I am a lover of art, music, reading and nature. I like to think that I am a creative, energetic, easygoing and fun nanny! I enjoy engaging children in age appropriate activities that are both fun and educational and I love to see and nurture the natural developments that occur in babies and children as they grow. I am very down to earth and easy going but believe boundaries are important. I try to be as flexible as possible and appreciate the same quality in my families. I am currently working towards my postpartum doula certification and hope to be certified in the next year or so. Much of my child care philosophy and definitely my most relevant experience comes from being a mama to a sweet, independent and brilliant 7-year-old! I have held numerous babysitting/nanny jobs over the last 9 years and have several great references. Right now I Read more work for a few lovely families but I am looking for a Monday, Tuesday afternoon and/or Friday position at the moment.

Becca is a gem! She is the right balance of laid back and strict. She's so kind and so patient. She's a great communicator, reliable, and trustworthy. My kids (3.5 years and 1 year) love her!

Becca has made our lives so much easier this past year +, we are truly going to miss her! She started watching our son in January 2012 when he was 3 months old. I debated between daycare and a full time nanny. After interviewing Becca I hoped she would give us the best of both worlds and she has worked out better than I imagined. Becca has provided him personal attention while also making sure our son is socialized with her daughter (a few months older than our son) as well as her great network of other mom's and their kids in the area. Becca is extremely knowledgeable and caring. She has been wonderful at doing age appropriate activities with our guy- whether it be tummy time, learning new songs, taking him to parks/indoor play areas or doing crafts & sensory activities, she has helped him develop in every aspect. She has also done a great job documenting what they do throughout the day. In addition to keeping a nanny log of when he eats, naps, etc. she also texts us photos throughout the day. More important then everything previously mentioned, our son loves Becca. There is nothing that makes me more happy and sad at the same time then when he jumps out of my arms and runs to give Becca hugs and kisses and then pushes me out the door to send me to work. She has made being a working mother much more manageable.
