I am from the west side of Chicago and I have been taking care of children since I was a young teenager. I have worked with a company for a little over 2 years, working with kids who attend school. I can help with chores around the household, homework, or any other tasks that will create a comfortable space. I own a dog and know why or how a task involving a dog will be handled. If I have questions I communicate well with the guardians and able to figure out the situation.
“Very good and patient ”

Hi there, my name is Becca! I am a registered nurse and a recent graduate of North Park University, where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing l. I have experience with newborns to preteens. I have worked in a nursery for the past 9 years and through this experience I have learned to take on a very patient, kind, calm, adaptable, creative nature to connect with children. I enjoy implementing milestone activities with young children along with reading books, and doing arts and crafts during our time. In my own free time I love to bake, hike, read, and travel. I also am a lover of animals! I am newer to UrbanSitter and I would greatly appreciate an opportunity! I'm excited to have the opportunity to work with your family and to get to know your children! Best- Becca (she/her) Provided Upon Request- Proof of CPR/BLS certification, Covid-19 Vaccination, & References/Resume
“Hands down best sitter! Becca was on time and immediately jumped in getting to know our kids. She had no problem navigating bedtime and tidied up. We appreciated her flexibility and communication but most impressive, she really engaged our kiddos right when she walked through the door.”
