Hello family! My name is Rebeca, but you can call me Beca. I’m 26 years old. I've been working in the area for 3 years. I currently work regularly with 3 children, from Monday to Friday.

As a compassionate and experienced babysitter, I bring a unique blend of warmth, patience, and professionalism to my caregiving role. With a background in babysitting and a special focus on providing exceptional care to autistic children, I understand the importance of creating a nurturing environment that caters to each child's individual needs. My experience has taught me the significance of clear communication, adaptability, and fostering a sense of trust to ensure a positive and enriching experience for both the child and their parents. Beyond my babysitting expertise, I have served as a dedicated Patient Care Technician in a hospital setting. This role has equipped me with valuable skills in maintaining a calm and composed demeanor in high-pressure situations, attention to detail, and a keen understanding of individualized care. My ability to navigate diverse caregiving scenarios, coupled with my genuine passion for creating joyful and secure environments, positions me as an ideal candidate for providing exceptional babysitting services. I look forward to bringing my unique skill set and compassionate approach to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for the children under my care.

My husband Bill and I have lived in the same home in Aurora since we got married April 17, 1993. I am a retired professional with LOTS of childcare/babysitting experience and LOVE to be around children. I am CPR/AED and First Aid certified, 27 yrs plus ski instructor for Special Olympics and Breckenridge Outdoor Educational Center (BOEC). I have mentored for Save Our Youth, Big Brothers, Big Sisters, Whiz Kids and more. I am fully vaccinated, have a current background/fingerprint check every year with HopSkipDrive and volunteering with kids at my church. Excellent driving record, to include medical certification required by the state of CO. I am a college graduate, retired from the Dept of Veterans Affairs, and an empty nester looking to keep myself young and busy.

I have been a nanny for the past year and I love it but I only work in the mornings. Previously, I worked as a substitute teacher during the school year and I spent my summers being a camp counselor. Because of these experiences, I have earned certifications in many different fields. I have been certified in archery, high ropes training, team building, paddle boarding, kayaking, biking, canoeing, water safety (in natural bodies of water and pools), first aid, CPR, and a multitude of random safety courses. Not all of these certifications are still valid as they require money and need to be renewed every year, my First Aid and CPR certifications are valid. :) As a substitute teacher, I am used to being flexible and staying calm in stressful situations. Once, I had a choir class of 54 high schoolers all by myself. Working in education, preschool to honors classes, has also given me a better grasp on what each grade is learning. I graduated with high honors and have a passion for learning. I love to read, write, do math and science. I would love to help your kiddos out in any of their studies. (Or “not teach them anything” and just casually implement learning into our activities, lol). I have always enjoyed my creative side. In my free time, if I am not camping with friends, I am making arts and crafts, painting, singing, or finding anything to do with my hands. I am not a great artist but I believe that anything that makes your heart full is worth doing. I believe that everyone should be treated with kindness and equality. I want to give your children the same respect that I believe I deserve from them. I hope to help them grow into their weirdest, kindest, most authentic selves.
