Hello! I'm Rebecca and I have just recently graduated high school as an early grad! I moved down to Florida from Illinois this month to be with my parents until I attend college in the fall. As a high schooler I took a child development class and also got certified for CPR and AED. I have been babysitting sense I was twelve years old and have worked and volunteered in church childcares working with infants through 12 year olds. I have also nannied over this past summer for 9 hours a day for a wonderful family. They had a 5 year old boy and a 1 year old girl who were both an absolute joy to work with. I have always loved children and considered myself to have a natural ability to work with them. I have a very soft and kind heart, making it even sweeter to be with kids. I am very patient and loving towards not only kids, but anyone and everyone. I recently went on a mission trip to Tucson, Arizona and ran a vacation bible school for kids of all ages. That has only grown my love for kids and helping them in any way I can!

I first started watching children when I was a pre-teen,  I have 7 years as a Special Needs Bus Driver and Teaching Assistant and currently over 8 years as a nanny with letters of reference from the families I have worked with that I will bring to interviews, I can also provide the background check that I had run on this site. The last family I worked for just moved to another state. they have provided with an excellent letter of recommendation which I will bring to the interview I have been doing as needed child care until I can find another job. My overall responsibility as a Professional Nanny is to care for and protect your child/children while they are in my care. As a mother and nanny I understand what your child/children mean to you. look forward to meeting you and your family. Sincerely, Miss Karen   Here are some more reviews from families I worked with as a Nanny or Babysitter: Lauren H. Karen was our nanny for 2 years and was a great part of our family. She is reliable, dependable, and great with kids. She created a great schedule of activities for our kids and always kept them busy and learning. She taught them great manners and life skills and has been a great part of our family. Karen cared for our kids, helped with household laundry, helped care for our dog, and ran errands for us. We would highly recommend Karen. Mark D Karen was a great caregiver for our 2 boys (5 and 3). She worked for us fro a few months while our regular daily caretaker was unable to work. Karen was always on time and worked around our schedule changes very well. Our boys liked her very much and she even brought over board games to play with them. We enjoyed our experience with Karen very much. Nov 12th, 2016 Adina Karen was great with our girls, 3 and 1. She was looking for something full time and we had a need for only 23.5 hours. She helped us out for a few days until we found another person. She was reliable, always on time or early.
