My name is Dr. Ruby and caring for children has been my calling for over a decade. My journey began humbly, working in local daycares, before growing into a career backed by hands on experience and a Doctorate in Curriculum and Teaching. During the past summer, I supported 2 families and took great pride in showing up fully for both. I helped with light household duties, tidied and organized kids' rooms, prepped snacks, and kept consistent feeding and nap schedules so little ones always felt safe and secure. I also loved tailoring my own engaging play activities for each child, because the best care is never 1 size fits all. I am Montessori certified and have worked with children of all ages & abilities. What truly makes me unique is a beautiful combo of nurturing instincts of someone who grew up genuinely loving this work, paired with knowledge of a childhood education doctoral graduate. I am warm, reliable, and energetic and would love to be a trusted part of your family!
Ruby arrived early and was immediately professional. She did not need prompting to immediately wash her hands and took care of my 7 week old with ease. She rocked him around our hotel room and sang songs and counted and fed him while we enjoyed a family wedding across the street. If you're looking for a wonderful babysitter who will give you positive reassurance caring for your newborn in a city known for rowdy party vibes, Ruby is the best. She instinctively gives off that Mary Poppins feeling and goes above and beyond to comfort and care for your infant. It meant a lot for me as a first time mom.
