Experience: 10 yrs
Available for care starting June 29, 2026. Looking for full-time 35+ hours a week. I have over 25+ years of experience caring for infants and children. I have been working as a full-time nanny the last 15 years. I have a lot of experience with infants/toddler/preschool age children. I know baby sign language (30 or so signs) and have helped with potty training. I have experience caring for a child with severe food allergies. Care included ensuring food safety, helping medicine, an inhaler, nebulizer, EpiPen, and emergency response. Current with CPR and First Aid Certificates. I am comfortable with larger dogs (regular size too!) and cats. I like to read, crafts, going to the park, walking, and music.
Ruth has been an exceptional nanny for our family for the past 17 months, caring for our son since he was 2 months old and helping with our now 3-year-old as needed. She is dependable, trustworthy, and genuinely loves the children she cares for. Ruth was consistently punctual (usually early) and never called out unexpectedly during her time with us. Her reliability gave us tremendous peace of mind. She provided attentive, loving care and built wonderful relationships with both of our children. She spent a great deal of time reading with our son, encouraging learning through books, crafts, play, and age-appropriate activities. She even brought her own rotating collection of children's books and toys each week, which both of our kids absolutely loved. Beyond childcare, Ruth regularly prepared meals for the children, kept play areas clean and organized, helped with laundry and dishes, and consistently left our home in better shape than she found it. She frequently went above and beyond without being asked. Most importantly, Ruth became part of our family. We trust her completely and are incredibly grateful for the care, support, and kindness she has shown our children (and dogs). We recommend her wholeheartedly to any family looking for a caring, reliable, and experienced nanny.
