I am a child care teacher, nanny, and now mom to a 14 year old. I work as a substitute teacher and am doing some off hours care for extra money. For a number of years I was a nanny in exchange for rent and did after hours care and evening and weekend routines with children 1 years old to age 10, including helping with chores and school work and getting them ready for bed. I enjoy doing cooking, dramatic play, and art with children and I make sure to get them some exercise and quiet time when with them for long stretches of time.

Rebecca sat for my 4 and 7 year old kids for an evening. She was communicative, professional and reliable. The kids were very comfortable with her as soon as she arrived. She has clearly spent a lot of time with children. I would highly recommend Rebecca!

We loved having Rebecca take care of our 2.5 year old this summer. She is very reliable, highly experienced, and sincere. My daughter who usually has a hard time adjusting to strangers felt extremely comfortable with Rebecca almost instantly. Rebecca brings a wealth of early childhood knowledge and first hand experience, she provides appropriate developmental activities (sensory, reading, voices, lots of hands on activities) and stimulating experiences (walks to the park climbing, storytelling). My daughter has a wonderful time with her everyday and looks forward to seeing her every morning. Rebecca is very respectful of the parents' choices, schedules and very communicative. She will be an asset to any family she works with and I wish my daughter could have spent more time with her.
