A little bit about me

Hey! My name is Ruby, I'm 19, and I live in Salt Lake. I have 8 years of paid babysitting and nanny experience. I am first aid certified because I current work at a hospital and have been in healthcare for 2 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 HMHI hospital but I miss babysitting so I’d love to find a family or two for occasional work.

Rate: $20+ (depending on number of kids and ages)

I’m also open to different hours as well if it’s a good fit! I create my work schedule 2 months in advance so I’m willing to be flexible.
(I also have tattoos and piercings 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."

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I became an aunt when I was 6, and my sister lived with us for a bit with her kids, so I used to get her daughter out of bed, change her diapers, and make her breakfast. I now have 3 nieces and 1 nephew (he's the little prince of the fam). Not only do I have experience within my family, I passed out flyers around my neighborhood when I was 11 and started babysitting. I’ve also nannied for a few amazing families throughout the years but slowed down as I started college and workin at the hospital! (I have 8 years paid experience with kids/babies).

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love playing board games, Montessori toys, card games, doing crafts, reading books, being outside, and going on adventures!

The most important part about being a nanny...

I think it’s important that the kids feel safe and loved. A big part of that is communication, and making sure they feel comfortable enough to talk to me. I read an article about nannying, and it said nannies are like an extension of mom… and I think that’s true. Being away from mom and dad is hard but it’s important to still foster that love and comfort.

My experience with special needs children...

I’ve taken 2 years of peer tutor in high school, but don't have professional training / experience. I do have some nannying experience with children on the spectrum and children that require a little extra emotional support.
I am also definitely willing to learn how to care for your child with special needs if it’s a good fit!

The most important part about being a nanny...

How could I have a favorite nanny moment? I have enjoyed all of my times nannying! Kids are so positive, so awesome to be with, and all unique in their own way.
