About Ruth
Experience: 7 yrs
I am a recent college graduate from UConn pursuing a career in Elementary Education. I have worked in Portland, Glastonbury, and Manchester schools. I am seeking a fun summer job. In the past I worked as camp counselor/director. I worked there for 6+ years and acted as a director it for 3+ years. I enjoy the outdoors, going for joyrides, creating crafts, playing sports and relaxing in the summer sun. I have many engaging games ready to pull out of my back pocket. Who knows, maybe I could even slip some educational games in there. My schedule is flexible. I am looking for 7-8hrs, 5 days a week. I ask for $15-25/hour due to my experience. I am CPR and first aid trained. I have worked with children of varying needs and abilities. I think I would be a great hire to watch your children! If you have any questions, please reach out. I would love to meet or video call with you soon to see if I would be a good fit with your family. Thank you for your consideration. Be well :)

Ruth was the best with the kids! She's an aspiring teacher and you can tell she will be great. She is patient and kind with the kids and knows how to work with all ages. I'd absolutely have Ruth work with me again anytime I need help!
