We hired Ruth through sittercity exactly 4 years ago. She started watching my daughter when she was eight months old, and still watches her to this day. We are so blessed and thankful to have found Ruth, she has helped our daughter grow in many ways. As a mom, it’s hard to put your kids in the care of someone else, but I fully trust Ruth with my kids. She is honest, dependable, loving, caring, and has been a great addition to our family. In addition to being a nanny for my now four-year-old, she provided transportation for my teenage daughter to and from school, and just began watching my new baby. She has done overnight care for us and is always flexible and accommodating. We love Ruth.
