About Ruth
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I started a "babysitting" business when I was about 12 years old, and babysat my neighbors' children from infancy to Jr. High age. In my adult years, I have been a caregiver for grade school children while I was going to college. I have cared for infants on up to "hanging out" with a 15-year-old who needed an adult to be with her after school until her mom got home from work. I love children and love to play and go on outings, or just play games, draw, color, be creative or read to/with them. I have also been a reading tutor for K-6th grade kids through several non-profit organizations. I have been a substitute teacher for 4th grade children as well. I have well rounded experience caring for and working with children.

Ruth watched our 6-month old for an evening. We talked before arriving and she was on time and friendly and he took to her right away! Everything went great and will hire again while in town!
