About Ruth

Experience: 3 yrs

Hi! My name is Ruth, I prefer to go by my middle name Ify! I am an experienced babysitter and love to be around children. I last babysat in 2022, since then I have been working in clinical research at Mount Siniai. I am also a visual artist. In august I will be starting my masters in social work training to become a therapist, specifically combining the arts with therapy. I grew up in a large extended family in Nigeria and I have been taking care of kids ever since. Previously, I sat for a set of 4-year-old twins, a 10-month-old, a pair of 3 and 5 yr old siblings and an 8-year-old. I treat children with the respect, care and compassion they need as children are whole people and deserve this. I am looking to start babysitting again to have extra income while on my grad school journey. I look forward to meeting your families and working together :) No recent references apart from the ones on my page as it has been a while. Hope that will be enough, and meeting me of course.

Ruth is a great nanny! She helps us every weekend and we have a mischievous toddler. Ruth is able to make everything work. She is dependable and reliable.
