Hi! I’m Rebecca, a dependable, compassionate, and responsible caregiver with more than 20 years of experience working with children of all ages, as well as hands-on experience caring for seniors and a wide variety of pets. My childcare experience includes babysitting, after-school care, teaching swim lessons, VBS, and working in a church nursery. I’m comfortable caring for infants through school-age children and understand the importance of creating a safe, fun, patient, and nurturing environment. I also have personal experience providing senior care, having been my Granny’s primary caregiver. I understand that senior care is about much more than completing tasks—it’s about providing companionship, patience, dignity, and dependable support. Animals are another area I genuinely love. I have extensive experience pet sitting and boarding dogs, along with caring for cats, bunnies, reptiles, hermit crabs, and fish. I have excellent references and take the responsibility of caring for someone’s pets and home very seriously. I’m also happy to help with light housekeeping, laundry, cooking, meal preparation, errands, organization, transportation, companionship, and other everyday tasks that make life easier for a family. I take pride in being someone people can trust. I’m attentive to details, safety-conscious, dependable, and willing to go the extra mile. Whether I’m caring for a child, senior, pet, or helping around the home, my goal is always to provide thoughtful, reliable care and leave things better than I found them. I would love the opportunity to learn about your needs and see how I can help. Thank you for considering me—I look forward to meeting you!
