Meet Rebecca

  • Speaks English, American Sign Language, and Spanish
  • Comfortable with pets
  • Has a car

Hello everyone! My name is Rebecca and I am 21 years old. I am a rising fourth year at Christopher Newport University where I double major in political science and social work. My basic information is as follows: I focus on verbal communication with children, validating feelings, and breathing exercises when overwhelmed. I completely avoid timeouts or any negative reinforcement. I have ~7 years paid experience with ages 3mos to 12yrs old; up to four children at one time. I have my own reliable transportation, with a completely clean driving record, and can happily drive the kids to fun activities such as the park, the zoo, or splash pad. I drive a Mazda hatchback so it is a bit small but it fits 3 in the back. I am more than comfortable with pets so bring on the furry friends!! My guaranteed payment methods include cash, check, or zelle. I Read more look forward to your messages :). Take care! (Edited 4/16/2023)

Rebecca has been absolutely wonderful with our children and around the house. She is jovial, punctual, and thoughtful. In addition to taking great care of the kids and engaging them in stimulating activities, she has helped with laundry, organizing, meal prep, and more. She is always asking how else she can be helpful and takes initiative to find ways to make our and the kids' lives easier. She always has an upbeat attitude and is very easy to work with. She’s a gem!

Rebecca was amazing and helped us feel very comfortable leaving our son in her care! She was prompt, flexible, knowledgeable, and very caring with our child. We look forward to hiring her again. Many thanks!

Rebecca has babysat for our 1yo twins a few times and she's great! They take awhile to warm up to people but she gets them smiling and giggling pretty quickly. She is very attentive and sends pictures throughout. She has also watched our 2 dogs on occasion and she is fabulous with them as well :)

Our kids LOVE Rebecca. She keeps them engaged, enriches their lives with a host of activities and field trips, and makes sure that they feel safe and valued. Rebecca is also very responsible and punctual. Our only regret is that we don't get more of her!

Rebecca is amazing! My son took to her immediately and absolutely loves her. She did a great job with him and took care of lunch and picking up. I am so glad we found her, we will definitely keep working with her going forward for as long as we can!

We've had a great experience with Rebecca. She is very timely and responsive when we text/call her to set-up plans. She's easy to work with and plan out complicated kid schedules. She's wonderful with our kids and is very engaged and active while she's here. She is reliable and dependable and has been great for helping our daughter get to her various activities. She even got our 6 year old to clean up and made it fun instead of a struggle! We highly recommend her!

Pros - Rebecca is punctual. Easy to work with . Communicates well and is very patient with the children. She has never potty trained before but she took initiative and has been consistent since. The boys love her and they have had good pleasant days with her. She watches all three-9, 6, & 2. She requires very little assistance. She created a schedule for the children and the activities are enriching. She has prepared a meal or two for the children when I couldn't provide instructions. She was flexible in her schedule and accommodations. She is very responsible and she carries herself in the direction of being successful in her future career. Cons - The children already love her and it is unfortunate that they will not be having her for long as she will be off to college.
