About Rebecca

What I love most about working with children is seeing the world through their eyes and watching them grow! There's nothing quite like seeing a child get excited about something I've gotten so used to; it really brings you back down to earth. Working with children and gaining their (and their parent's!) trust is a huge privilege. It's an honor to work with families and teach, lead, and inspire kids to become their best selves. I love developing relationships with children and watching as they grow older into their own person. It's so fun to see their personalities and opinions develop, and their resilience and confidence grow. I have been babysitting, house sitting, and housekeeping since I was 14 years old. I have experience with infants, toddlers, and elementary aged children. I've watched children from my family, friends, family friend's and I have been hired for work. I have also worked with children in a professional setting as a case manager and child advocate. In this role I worked with children to make sure their physical and emotional needs were being met, and I also promoted normalcy and play while the children were living at a shelter. I planned and led many weekly activities, events, and holiday celebrations for the children. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I have received gold standard training from the Center on Children, Family and the Law which focused on many topics such as child development, trauma, and child interviewing. I am excited to work with a family one on one and help them in feeling confident and at peace about their household!
