Rebecca Van't Hof / Owner / President
American ChildCare Service was created by Rebecca in 1988, when her first daughter Amanda, was born. While traveling with her family, Rebecca was in need of a babysitter to care for her infant. The service was anything but pleasant, and she was unable to leave her child with the unprofessional sitter. Rebecca came away from that experience with a great idea, to create a reliable sitting service for traveling parents in need of a caring, professional sitter. American ChildCare Service was born, and Rebecca had merged the two things that she loves the most - children and beautiful hotels! Since then, American ChildCare Service has become the premier childcare provider to the Ritz-Carlton, Four Seasons, Peninsula and Fairmont Hotels. In 1994 ACS opened an office in San Francisco and the New York office opened in 2003. We now service hotels in all three cities. Rebecca's mission is to "exceed the expectations of five star hotels and their guests."
