My name is Rebecca. I am a twenty five year old living in Lakeview. I am a Columbia College graduate with a degree in marketing communications. I have worked for many years as a babysitter/nanny. From August 2013-August 2014, I followed my passion of traveling and lived in Sydney, Australia for a year. While living there, I worked as a nanny for two young children, ages five and eight. It was amazing, but unfortunately my visa expired and I had to return to the States. Since returning to Chicago, I have been putting my degree to use and working in the marketing field. However, I have realized that my true dream job and calling is to work with children. In the near future, I hope to return to school to obtain a degree in Early Childhood Education. I am hoping to be able to work with children again starting in the summer. I enjoy all types of activities including going to museums and the zoo and one of my favorite free time activities is reading. If you feel that I would be a good fit for the position you are offering, please feel free to reach out to me.
