Meet Ruth
- Speaks English, Other, and Spanish
I used to babysit my cousins frequently. I worked at a summer school program for children between the ages of 2 and 6. I love kids! I like going outside with them when it’s nice and sunny. I play with them and do as many activities with them, and limit screen time as much as possible. With the help of this app, I have babysat over 5 families, and I am willing to share references if needed.
