About Rebecca

Experience: 9 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I worked in child care for the past nine years. My jobs have included working at pre-schools, elementary schools and day care. For the past 3 years I've been working in Virginia. I'm transitioning to Illinois. I love working with children. I'd describe my personality as fun, out going, friendly. I like working with kids because the little ones brings so much joy that will brighten anyone day I am also a mother of four and grandmother of six , taking care of children is what I love to do. I started working with children many years ago. In my native Jamaica, I worked in school lunch rooms. Since moving to the US in 2015, I continued working with children. I have held positions directly involved in child care in pre school, elementary school and daycare centers. For the last 3 years I have been working. I find my work fun and I enjoy working with children. In my spare time, I like to sing, dance, cook.

Rebecca, also known as "Jamaican Grandma," is an absolute gem of a childcare provider! From the moment my children stepped into her home, they were embraced with warmth, love, and the kind of care that can’t be taught—it’s just who she is. She treats every child as if they were her own, making them feel safe, secure, and truly cherished. Her home is not just clean and safe, but also filled with joy and high energy. She doesn’t see caring for children as a job—it’s her ministry, and that passion shines through in everything she does. She goes above and beyond, not just meeting their needs but enriching their lives. My 1-year-old even learned how to play the piano under her care! On top of that, Rebecca is an incredible cook, ensuring the children are well-fed with delicious, home-cooked meals. If you're looking for a loving, dedicated, and nurturing childcare provider, I highly recommend Rebecca. She is truly one of a kind! 💕
