About Ruth

Experience: 10 yrs

I am a retired elementary music teacher looking for a way to use my skills and energy! I have raised two beautiful, intelligent daughters, and I enjoy the great outdoors, animals (except reptiles!), and making artwork. I love to support parents by providing a safe, healthy, and engaging environment for their children to grow in. I understand what it means to be a working parent, so my goal is for parents to be relaxed about going to work and be able to enjoy the time they have with their children when they get home. Beside loving to nurture children and families, I am super dependable, and have excellent communication skills.
