I am 25 years old and I live in Palatine. I graduated from Illinois State and my education is extremely important to me, I studied Human Development and Family Relationships. I have been a babysitter for ten years now, and I have also been a nanny for 6 years and I have taught Preschool for 3 years. I have extensive experience with children, I am First-Aid and CPR certified.I am very responsible and energetic as well as organized and kind-hearted. Some of my hobbies include: exercising, being active outside, baking and reading. I love planning developmentally appropriate activities that are both fun and educational for children. I have excellent professional as well as personal references. I believe the best child care includes working with the parents to help their children learn and grow in a supportive environment. My greatest joy in life is helping children and want to continue this onto my career, I Read more hope to get the chance to work with you and your family.

I had the exact same experience as the other reviewer. Very disappointing. I'm still searching for a sitter!

After several emails Becca agreed to come to our house to meet my boys. She never showed up and never called, texted or emailed. She was give my address and cell phone number just in case. I shocked as it was a very busy holiday weekend and we specifically waited at home for her. This was incredibly irresponsible and rude. I waited a few days to see if she had the courtesy to contact me but I never heard from her. I'm glad I know now that she is this irresponsible as she will never watch my children.

Becca watched my two kids (ages 7 & 10) and they loved her. She kept them entertained the entire time and even brought cupcakes to bake with them! She is prompt, reliable and outgoing. I highly recommend her. -Diane Q.
