A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Rebecca, and I currently live in Willmar. I'm wanting to relocating for new opportunities. I have a dog named Aspen, who is a big part of my life.

For almost 16 years, I’ve been dedicated to working with children in a variety of roles. I’ve had the privilege of helping raise two younger sisters, babysitting for several families, and working at a daycare for about 5-6 years. Additionally, I’ve gained experience as a Personal Care Assistant (PCA) and have spent the last 5 years working at an ABA therapy center for children with autism, a role that I find deeply rewarding.

In addition to my hands-on experience, I am CPR and First Aid certified, ensuring I can provide the best care and safety for the children I work with.

She lives in Northwest Rochester, Minnesota, and has access to a semi-private pool area with a small kid sized pool and pirate ship play and spray jungle gym as well as a larger 4 and 5 foot deep lap pool.

A little bit about me

I have over three years of experience working with children and truly enjoy providing attentive, high-quality care. Alongside my work with a childcare company, I also helped care for my younger brother from infancy, who is now 11 years old. I am reliable, trustworthy, and passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and positive environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to grow.

Outside of work, I enjoy a variety of activities, including reading, painting, and spending time outdoors whenever possible. I appreciate creative and active hobbies, and I enjoy bringing that same sense of curiosity, creativity, and engagement into my time with children.

A little bit about me

I have 7 plus years of experience working for 3 families as a nanny. 2 children started with me as babies and stayed with me until school age. I am available Mon - Saturday as early at 7:00 am and as late as 7:00 pm and I am willing to help with most requests.

I am a mother of 2 beautiful grown girls. I am enrolled online and currently taking early childhood classes along with a first aid class that includes certification for infants and children. I was a Sunday school teacher for the 3-7 yr olds for several years until I changed churches in 2020. I love being a young nana to a very active 8-year-old boy with some behavioral challenges, which he is learning to manage quite nicely.. Children are very special people and deserve to be raised by those who strive to understand their needs. My goal is to be the best caregiver I can be with continuing education classes and an open mind. I am a crafter, an animal lover and a non-smoker!
