Ruth S.

Im Ruth – Ive been the neighborhood babysitter since I was 13 years old. I grew up with 5 siblings (which added to my experience at a young age with helping out with newborns and young children) and now have 5 young nieces/nephews that I adore and have helped look after. I got my university degree in Photo and Lens based Design last year and relocated to the city with my husband for his job. Along with photography, Im a classically trained violinist and a health and wellness enthusiast. I also love yoga, reading, cooking, walking, and home organization and design. Im someone who thrives in a positive environment and who loves to maintain a clean and calm living space. I learned/implemented the Marie Kondo Method a few year ago, and now basic housekeeping/organization is something I very much enjoy and find to be therapeutic and stress-relieving. Ive always had really special relationships with the kids Ive looked after in the past – some of my favorite memories include singing in the car together as I drove them to dance classes, reading books together before bed, making cookies together, building forts, painting, and just sitting on the couch together laughing and talking about things we love. I believe the most important thing for children is connection – to feel loved, seen, and safe. This is something I always go back to, especially when kids are feeling big emotions (i.e. fits, tantrums, anxiety, etc.) that they need help navigating. Im adaptable, positive, easy-going, accommodating, good-natured, creative, attentive, responsible, and dedicated to providing the best childcare I can.
