About Ruth

Experience: 10 yrs

I'm a friendly and energetic teacher with years of experience in early childhood education. I'm motivated to help children become happy, healthy and well behaved. Some skills I have are that I'm highly dependable, I have excellent attention to detail, I'm bilingual (English/Spanish), I'm knowledgeable on the medical field (I studied nursery in college) and I have both certificates for child CPR & First Aid Certified. I can also provide transportation. I have 2 kids and have cared for my little nieces and nephews as well. I've worked in a daycare for 6 years as an assistant teacher/full teacher and I've been a nanny for a family the last 7 years. I also can do weekend babysitting. I have lots of experience with all ages. From new born to elementary school kids. I love being creative with them, playing games and doing activities with them like crafts, dancing, and going out to the park. I look forward to working with you and meeting your little ones!

Ruth was a nanny for my son from when he was only four months old until he went to daycare at two years old. She came from a daycare center and was very experienced working with kids. My son was not an easy baby, but she did great with him and had a lot of patience. She did a lot of creative projects and crafts with him for special occasions and holidays, which was a nice touch. Overall, we had a very positive experience working with Ruth and I would recommend her to any family looking for a quality nanny.
