For 20 years, I've been wiping noses, catching tears, changing diapers, and leading epic park adventures--teaching kids the joy of kite flying, fishing, hiking, and all things outdoors! I've raised five amazing humans who are now thriving adults and have supported countless families, from newborns to teens, through every stage of life. I also have experience working with children under five who are on the spectrum. Now that I'm back in college pursuing my degree in social work, I'm excited to continue creating safe, fun spaces for kids to learn and grow. I'm currently available for part-time help--after school, on date nights, or special occasions. Whether it's a trip to the park, museum, or movies, I love turning ordinary moments into adventures. How can I help your family thrive?

Experienced, confident, trustworthy, on time, available, easy to work with. We got lucky finding her.

Bring exceptional!  As a ftm, I knew I needed someone with patience, experience and respect for my needs. She surpassed these expectations. She genuinely cares for, signs with, and teaches him (age appropriately)! Bonus,  they go on field trips- he’s not even one & has experienced the best times with her all while sticking to my very particular regime. She communicates and sends pictures throughout the day so I can be a part of his adventures! She’s flexible, prepared and has endless activities at her disposal. I trust her with my baby, and am so grateful she shows up for my son and I!

The best ever!! She was able to come last minute when I had another sitter cancel and she made me feel so comfortable since this was my first time having someone babysit my 2 kids. She did baby yoga with my infant and took great care of my toddler. Will definitely be booking with her again! 

Ruth was such an amazing help and very hands on with everything! She communicated so well with the kids and made everyone feel so special.

She was absolutely perfect! My two kiddos and fur baby love her! She communicated everything with us throughout our time away, kept the kiddos entertained and even put them to bed! I highly recommend 

Great for child care! My babies loved her! And she brought crafts and whatnot for them! Will definitely be reaching back out to her!! 

Ruthanne watched my three girls this past Friday night and was absolutely amazing! My girls had a wonderful time with her doing arts/crafts/creative projects and felt very safe and comfortable with her at home with them. I would 100% recommend her if you need someone to help out with our little ones!

I wish I could give more than 5 starts! Ruth was amazing with all three of my kids and they have not stopped talking about her since she left. They cant wait for her to come back again! 

Ruthanne was on time and excellent. My daughter loved spending time with her. I will definitely be booking her again in the future. 

Ruthanne is very attentive. Extremely professional. And goes above beyond to take care of her clients. I will definitely be booking her again.

Ruthanne did an amazing job with our kids and dogs. She showed up and jumped right in with our 3 kids. I plan to use her again and again. Wonderful woman to work with kids!

First time mom here who booked Ruthanne to care for our newborn son last minute (like I needed her to watch him in 6 hrs from the time I booked). She was early so I could go over everything needed for my son. Not only did she give excellent care to our baby who looked happily rested and fed when I came home, she even tidied up a bit around the house. This helped me tremendously and took off a lot of stress I had as new mom. Even though it seems like a simple service - it helped give me a piece of mind that my baby was safe and happy since we have been having issues with sleep deprivation at home and needed some relief for a night. She is professional, punctual and very experienced at what she does. 

Ruth has lots of energy to play with my son. You can tell she had lots of experiences and really enjoy her job. Definitely will use her more often. Thank you

Oh Ms. Ruth! Listen, I don't want to say she's the absolute best because I don't want her to get snatched, but she's the absolute best! She communicated so well and clearly that I immediately felt comfortable. She got to my house a few minutes early so I could go over things and show her around. The moment my boys woke up, she didn't hesitate or wait for me to tell her what to do- she is a natural nurturing mama bear, but is not afraid to lovingly redirect your babies. She came with activities planned and my sons were so comfortable with her. She was even able to somehow put our two year old down for a nap! Her values aligned with our family values and I totally trust her with my boys and know that she will take good care of them and help them grow into great humans. Parents, she is definitely someone you want as a part of your "village".

Ruth was amazing with all of the children! She is very experienced and professional with all ages! She helped us with an event where we provided a daycare and all of the parents loved her! I would definitely recommend her to anyone and hire her again!

Ruthanne was amazing!! I immediately felt comfortable with her as soon as I met her. My boys loved her and were also comfortable with her. She communicated with me throughout the day. She even cleaned and tidied up my place which is always a huge bonus to come home to. 

Ruthanne was the first non-family member to watch our 8 month old son, so we were a bit nervous going in. From the moment she stepped through the door though, we knew our baby was in great hands. Her passion, care, and attention to detail put us right at ease.

Also, our son loved her! They took to each other right away, so we were able to enjoy date night without worrying a bit. She even sent us a goodnight picture at bedtime, which we really appreciated. 

If I could give more stars, I would. Ruthanne will definitely be our first contact next time we need a babysitter.

I hired Ruth to watch my kids while i went for a date night. Ruth is a professional and truly adores kids.
You know, no amount of money can be paid for someone to love and treat kids like their own. She truly loves kids and can relate with them in all ways. I would hire her many more times.  My kids love her and said so many nice things about her.  

Ruthanne is punctual and charismatic with children. She has the ability to be firm while engaging kids in fun activities that require teamwork and thinking skills. She is a babysitter who comes prepared to have fun with the kids and leaves your space better than you left it. I would hire her again. 

Excellent service, children loved her, great home, clean, friendly,  good snacks, took time, helped with homework
