About Ruth
Experience: 10 yrs
My education includes an A. A. in Early Childhood Education, and a B. A. and teaching certification in Elementary Education. My experience ranges from babysitting, three times working as a nanny, working in a preschool, toddler center, full time teaching in an elementary school, tutoring, and substitute teaching in several school districts. Last, but not least, I've been raising my two daughters who are now 28 and 33.
Most recent review
Ruth was an exceptional caregiver for our son for nearly a year and a half, and we truly can’t recommend her enough. From the very beginning, she brought warmth, kindness, and genuine care into our home. She nurtured our son's emotional needs with patience and supported his development through engaging, age-appropriate learning activities. Her ability to turn everyday moments into fun, meaningful learning experiences felt like having a preschool right in our living room. Ruth worked beautifully with us as parents, always respectful of our style while offering thoughtful insight. She kept our home organized and managed routines with ease, which was a huge support to our family. Ruth quickly became a trusted and beloved part of our lives. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her.
