Ruth’s Bio
Hello there, thank you for taking the time to learn more about my passion and care ethic. I started care companion work at the very young age of 16 and found it very rewarding. I looked after a very ill cancer patient in her home, for half a year during weekends. My duties were fluffing her pillows, giving her showers, preparing her meals and serving them to her, helping her in her mobility, and learning Farsi, in order to have basic conversations with her. I felt I made a difference in her life and am still in contact with her, however her sister decided to take over full time, but if she’s ever unavailable she loves having me assist. Care work is something I really enjoy which is why I have teaching credentials from the University of Berkeley for childhood development. I look after infants all the way up to seniors, additionally I have CPR liscensing and first aid certification. If you are in search for a responsible, anti phone while working, non smoking, hands on caregiver feel free to contact me, thank you

Reviews
Ruth was amazing with our 1-year-old son! We were in town for a wedding and our previous sitter canceled on us last minute. Ruth saved the day and watched our son with a day's notice. Without even asking her, she texted me updates and photos throughout the evening. If we were local to the area, I would have loved to hire Ruth again! Definitely recommend!
Our family loves Ruth! She is smart, professional, and so great with kids. She has lots of experience with toddlers which is what we were looking for. Our daughter is 3 and instantly connected with Ruth, which is not always the case with new nannies. We hope to work with her for a long time.
Ruth is amazing!!! She helped us for an entire day on very short notice when we unexpectedly didn't have any to watch our 2-year old. She was very responsive and professional with all our interactions. She arrived early the day of to make sure she knew where everything was and what our son's routines were. Our son usually takes a while to warm up to people, but warmed up to Ruth right away. She did all kinds of different fun developmentally-appropriate activities all day with our son and sent us several pictures and videos. She is a genuinely kind, caring, attentive, and trustworthy person. I wish we had a need for her more often!!!
My first reaction meeting Ruth was, "Thank goodness, a normal human." My second reaction was, "She's not just normal...she's awesome."
We've had Ruth in our home about 4 times now. I really appreciate her knowledge of the various parenting techniques. She's great at setting guidelines for our boy while keeping it fun. She's very patient, interactive, and kind.
