A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Ruthie, and I’m a compassionate, reliable caregiver with a genuine love for working with children. I have experience supporting kids of all abilities, including those with medically complex needs such as feeding tubes and trachs. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on creating a safe, nurturing environment where children can feel comfortable, supported, and free to be themselves.

I enjoy engaging kids in meaningful activities—whether that’s creative play, helping with routines, or encouraging their independence in a way that meets them where they’re at. My background has taught me how important it is to be both flexible and consistent, especially when working closely with families and following individualized care plans.

I truly believe every child deserves to experience joy, growth, and a sense of belonging, and I bring that mindset into every family I work with.
