About Ruth

Experience: 20 yrs

I love watching and helping children grow and learn! I am a former basketball and volleyball assistant coach so I also love physical activity if the children are up for it. Any learning games, arts, and crafts are usually incorporated into the day as well!

Ruth has been helping us with my daughter for over a year now and she has honestly been amazing. She has helped us through so many last-minute situations, work schedules, date nights, emergencies, and random life chaos. She’s even helped us while traveling and in different states, which says a lot about the level of trust we have in her. No matter the situation, she’s always dependable, understanding, patient, and incredibly caring. My daughter absolutely loves her, and that peace of mind as a parent is priceless. It’s rare to find someone you genuinely trust with your child, and Ruth has truly become that person for us. We appreciate her more than words can explain and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing caregiver. 🙂
