About Ruth
Experience: 10 yrs
I have three grown and married kids. I have 7 wonderful grandchildren. I love to teach Spanish, cook healthy whole food meals, care for others, and connect through meaningful conversation. I have experience in childcare, have owned my own cleaning company, have worked as a CNA, and have cooked professionally. I love setting children up for success through teaching healthy boundaries, being encouraging and attentive, involving them in day to day activities, and truly caring for them as individuals. At my last job I was an agricultural engineer for 6 years. They closed my position so I am now looking for a job! If your child can overlook a Spanish accent, I would love to work with you!

Ruth was an incredible nanny for our 3-year-old son. As a parent, she was extremely reliable, consistent, and trustworthy. From my son's perspective, she was fun, engaging, and energetic. I felt comfortable with her from day one. She was also very flexible and comfortable doing a variety of activities with my son. She cooked delicious meals for him and oftentimes included him in the cooking which he loved. My son loved learning new Spanish words with Ruth. He was excited every time Ruth was coming! If you are looking for a professional and experienced caregiver, I would highly recommend her.
