Hello! I'm a full-time college student studying Creative Writing and Anthropology. I've worked in childcare since I was a teenager and believe caring for children is meaningful, rewarding work. Before returning to school, I worked full-time at the library, where I developed a deep appreciation for children's literacy. I also have experience as a tutor and reading mentor and enjoy helping with homework. I'm a creative, dependable caregiver who loves reading, arts and crafts, and planning engaging, age-appropriate activities. I especially enjoy working with older children who like creative projects or need academic support. I renew my First Aid and CPR certifications annually. I will follow your lead on parenting and rules. I am big on communication and I make sure to keep parents in the loop through regular texts, calls, photos, and written daily reports. I look forward to supporting your family with safe, attentive, and reliable care.
We hired Ruth as a part-time nanny for our 8 month old baby girl this spring and couldn't be happier with her help. She has been a joy to have in our home, and we would highly recommend her to other parents! :) Ruth is very sweet and gentle with the baby and actively follows cues to assess her needs for sleeping, playing, and eating. She was able to pick up a lot of new skills very quickly and adjusted to our family's preference and style for doing things with baby. Ruth promptly communicates any issues and is unafraid to ask questions if she is unsure how we want something handled. This has helped us feel extremely comfortable and confident having her care for our baby. We are moving to daycare to help our baby build socialization skills, but will definitely be asking Ruth to babysit as our baby loves spending time with her. For families with pets -- Ruth also has been great with our dog and two cats, which can be especially tricky while managing a young baby!
