Meet Ruth

  • Comfortable with pets
  • Has a car

My name is Ruth and I love working with children. I am originally from St. Louis, Missouri, where I grew up in a family of six children. I started working with children at a Montessori daycare during the summers of my college years. Over the years I have been a nanny for 3 families. The children’s ages ranged from 2 months to 7 years. For one of the families, I was a live-in nanny and had a school in the home to work with the children on a daily basis. Weekly outings included museums, parks, zoo, etc. I enjoy being around the youth because their energy keeps me young. I am CPR and First Aid Certified. I am willing to travel to your home within a 15 mile radius of Broomfield.

I reviewed Ruth above, but over the past several months we have grown to know her better and would recommend her without hesitation! Ruth is fantastic!!! She made going back to work after the birth of my second son so much easier! We are so lucky to have found her! She watches our 2 years old and infant full-time. Both kids are well cared for, nurtured and loved by Ruth. Leaving an infant with someone can be scary, but our newborn has truly bonded with Ruth. He would not even take a bottle when she started. She was so patient and caring with him, in no time she our little one using a bottle and totally content being with her! And our rambunctious, sassy toddler is always entertained and loved when he is with Ruth. When my older son was in daycare, I worried all day that he was not getting enough attention. With Ruth, I know he is being spoiled! We would have Ruth nanny our children FOREVER but my work schedule is changing soon! Ruth is never late (in fact, she is always early), and never misses a day. She communicates and works with us very well. When I get home, she is not rushing out the door. She fills me in on highlights of the day and cute things the boys did that day.

Ruth was prompt, professional and my toddler loved her. I hope we have the chance to utilize her again soon!

Ruth is an excellent and reliable sitter. She has been watching our children now for over a year and has always been wonderful. My three year old just adores her and always asks when Ruth is coming over again. She juggles my 22 month old, 2 month old, and three year old with ease. She has a flexible schedule, is a great communicator, and is a natural with children. I would recommend her to anyone!

Ruth has been watching our kids regularly for almost a year. She is amazing! They love her and do a "happy dance" when I tell them she is coming and then again when she walks in the door. She often brings arts and crafts projects for them to do and they love it. She keeps them active with walks to the park nearby and lots of time outdoors. She is a great communicator with us and leaves detailed worksheets (that she brings herself) on each kids day. You will not find a better sitter, We reccomend her without any hesitation.
