Hi! I'm Alyson King, although friends and acquaintances call me Ruby. I've spent over a decade working with kids, including several years as a classroom assistant in a Montessori school setting, which taught me the value of quiet observation, autonomy, and finding meaning in even the smallest routines (yes, even wiping down a table). I approach caregiving with steadiness, respect, and warmth. Kids tend to feel safe with me quickly, and I take their needs seriously without taking myself too seriously. I've supported families with infants, toddlers, and older kids. Things I'm big on include: clear communication, a calm presence, and knowing when to step in vs. step back. If you and your family are looking for someone grounded, warm, and deeply present, then I'd love to hear more about your family and see if we're a good fit.
