Hello! I am a retired elementary education teacher, and have a varied background working with children. In addition to teaching, my experiences include day care, houseparent, church nursery worker and raising three children of my own. I have been a part time nanny since my retirement. My last assignment was for an infant from the time she was 3 months old to 18 months old. I have cared for infants (including new born) and pre-school children, and it has been so much fun! An added bonus is the wonderful parents I have met. It makes me feel good knowing they had peace of mind because I can be trusted to keep their little ones safe and happy. I am enjoying the flexibility of retirement, so I am only interested in part time work. I live in North Austin, close to the Domain. Thanks for reading my info, and best of Read more luck to you in finding great child care! *References available upon request. *Evidence of recent background check available upon request.

I truly can't say enough good things about Becky! She watched our daughter 2-3 days per week from the time she was 3mo to almost 18mo. Our daughter was comfortable with her right away, and they formed a really sweet bond. Our daughter always looked forward to 'Becky days' and we always came home to a very happy little girl, which made us feel so at ease when our daughter was in her care. I worked from home, and while I was usually not in the same room, I would pop in throughout the day. Becky was always very engaged with our daughter - playing, singing, reading, blowing bubbles, going on walks, or doing other age-appropriate activities like practicing fine motor skills, drawing, etc. Our daughter now has a great vocabulary for her age and is a great little problem-solver, and I attribute a lot of that to the very thoughtful attention she received from Becky during such a critical developmental stage. Becky was also very timely and communicative - we both would require some flexibility in our schedules at times, but she would always try to let me know well in advance so we could plan ahead, which was very appreciated. Additionally, as a first-time mom to a baby with some specific needs early on, I so appreciated how respectful Becky was of accommodating any special requests and keeping us informed throughout the day by keeping logs for feedings, diapers, etc. She was also a huge help with the 'baby chores' - cleaning bottles, doing baby laundry, and tidying up her toys before she left. As an overwhelmed new mom going back to work, I was so grateful for the extra help. I very highly recommend Becky. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and will absolutely be checking her availability for baby #2 down the road!
