A little bit about me
Hey! My name is Ruby, I'm 19, I live in Salt Lake, and grew up in Alpine UT. I have 4 older sisters, so I'm the baby of the family. I became an aunt when I was 6, and my sister lived with us for a bit with her kids, so I adored having some little “sisters” to love and spoil for a couple years. I've always loved children and babies, even since I was little myself. Babysitting and nannying is my favorite because it's something I truly love to do. I currently work full-time nights at a hospital but my schedule is pretty flexible depending on your family’s needs.
Rate: $18+ (changes depending on number of kids and their ages)
I’m looking for something around 10-15 hours a week if it’s a good fit. I’m also open to different hours as well!
(I also have tattoos if you’re comfortable with that 💗)

"Ruby was great. Our first babysitter canceled at the last minute and Ruby agreed on the spot to watch our little one. Super sweet and very patient. My daughter went right to her with no whining or crying. They played, colored, and she even fixed her dinner. She also took my dog out which she didn't have too. We will definitely be using Ruby again."

A little bit about me
I have experience with all ages of children, and work best with infants and toddlers. I have house-sat, baby-sat, kept the house clean, and dog-sat since I was 12 years old, and I've always enjoyed it. I like taking care of people and making sure things are tidy. I am pretty flexible with hours and days and have my own transportation and drivers licence.

"Chloe started out as a sitter for my twin girls when I would go out on rare occasions. She was so naturally good with them. She would play dress up and do hair, and I immediately liked how she allowed them to entertain their little creative ideas, being supportive, in almost a big sister type of way. When Chloe made 18, it happened upon me to ask Chloe if she'd be our full time nanny, especially with my wedding coming up! Chloe accepted. My expectations were fairly simple. Take the girls to school on the city bus and pick them up on the city bus. Bring them home and assist in homework and snacks. Then, playtime. While my children were in school, Chloe would wash and dry laundry and do basic house cleaning. She is an amazing fit with us and I'm so glad that my sweet girls got the opportunity to have Chloe with us. Any family with basic needs would be very pleased with Chloe. She has a sweet and fun personality and truly loves to be with children. "
