Meet Ruth
- Registered Nurse
- Comfortable with pets
Hi, I'm Ruth. I'm an experienced nanny, available for temporary or short-term childcare while I look for my first position as a registered nurse! I have over 10 years experience working with young people, primarily infants and children up to 5 years old. I'm great with older kids and teens, too. In my free time, I like to make art, read, and write. It gives me great pleasure to share the appreciation of music, art, and literature with kids of all ages. I have glowing references available at your request who can tell you about the joy and creativity I've shared with their children! I am a professional registered nurse, licensed in Illinois through 2016, with active CPR/BLS certification. I am available to care for children living with disabilities / children with special needs, and provide a safe and caring environment for young people with behavioral health challenges. I'm a Read more great cook, with a strong knowledge of childhood nutrition and special dietary needs. I am available to help with homework, and can provide tutoring in English and biological sciences. I strive to blend intelligence, charm, silliness, and safety into a stew that gives parents the assurance that their child is in capable hands, and gives children the experience of a friend they can count on when their parents are away. I look forward to meeting your family! Best, Ruth
