About Ruth

Experience: 7 yrs

I love working with tiny humans. I do my best to approach all interactions as gently and trauma-informed as possible. I am passionate about art, gardening, all things nature and staying active! I am a practicing substance use counselor. I have a graduate degree in clinical social work. I've been doing private childcare for the better part of a decade; and have also worked with school age kids in therapeutic settings as well. I am looking for occasional weeknight/weekend jobs. I am comfortable working with all kids and do have a background in working with neuro divergent kiddos.

Ruthann did a great job with our girls. She was very personable and the kids responded well to her. We plan to use her again in the future when she is available.
