Birthday: January 23rd

Favorite Crayola color: Maximum Blue Purple
Background: I am studying social work with a minor in child development and hope to work in child welfare. I have experience with children in both the home and classroom. I have worked as a date night sitter, after school nanny, and an all-day nanny. I have cared for little babies all the way up to pre-teens. I have also worked as a teaching assistant in many classrooms and do well at working with children at their pace and level. I pride myself on getting to know each child and their individual quirks and needs. I love forming relationships with little ones and watching them grow and prosper as I work with them!! I have worked with children with allergies as well as children with behavior issues.
I have received training on how to support children and teens with ASD from the FSU Center for Autism and Related Disabilities (CARD).
On her own, she’s cared for children as young as: 3 months old
Future plans: I hope to obtain my BSW and MSW and work in child welfare. I eventually want to open non-profits based on needs identified from working in the field.
When she’s not babysitting: I am usually doing schoolwork, making jewelry, or reading.

“We’ve been so pleased with Rebecca. She even brought beads for a craft with [our daughter] last night and she loved it! Thank you again for reaching out to make it work with her. ”
“Rebecca is an extremely honest and trustworthy person. How she acts in front of us with our children is how she acts behind closed doors with them. She is extremely patient, kind, gentle, and offered fun and engaging activities for our girls. She is on time and would take notes throughout the day on how our girls did, when they ate, what it was, when naps were, etc… In a short time we grew to trust Rebecca and our girls love her. We only wish Rebecca was not moving and would continue to be our sitter. Simply put, if you do not hire her you will be missing out. She is wonderful! ”
“Rebecca has babysat my kids since my oldest was 5 an she is almost 11 now. Since then we added another child to our family and she has known our youngest since he was born. Rebecca is responsible and caring and always has the best interest of our children. I trust her with anything related to our growing kids. We never had any issue with her and she always goes above and beyond. She is more like a big sister to our children and we see her as part of our family. Rebecca is always on time and out kids are never bored when they spend time with her. She is very respectful and follows safety rules and enforces good behavior. We are truly blessed to have her in our lives. ”
