About Ruth

Experience: 2 yrs

Hi! I'm Ruth, a 23-year-old junior nursing student at Messiah University. I'm working toward a career in pediatric or NICU nursing and have a strong passion for child care. My experience in child care comes from volunteering at church nursery for 2 years, working at a preschool for 2 years, and working at a summer camp. Additionally, I have clinical experience in pediatric units caring for children with acute illness and disabilities, as well as experience with newborns in the postpartum unit. I'm Basic Life Support (BLS)/CPR certified and I enjoy creating safe, positive, and supportive environments that help children grow and thrive. I will have full time availability after my college classes end on May 10th. Thank you for considering me!
