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.

More About Me

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

I have hands-on experience caring for children of different ages and abilities, including those with medically complex needs. I’ve supported children who require feeding tubes and trach care, and I’m comfortable following detailed care plans while staying attentive to each child’s comfort and safety.

My experience has taught me how to stay calm, patient, and responsive, especially in situations that require extra attention or quick thinking. I’m used to working closely with families, respecting routines, and communicating clearly about a child’s needs and progress.

In addition to medical support, I focus on creating a positive and engaging environment through play, structure, and encouragement. I enjoy helping children build confidence, feel safe, and experience everyday moments in a way that works best for them.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love keeping kids active, curious, and engaged through fun, meaningful experiences. Some of my favorite outings include going to the zoo, visiting the aquarium, exploring children’s museums, and spending time at trampoline parks where kids can burn off energy and just have fun.

I also enjoy planning age-appropriate activities that mix learning and play, whether that’s creative crafts, outdoor adventures, or simple everyday moments that spark curiosity. I like to follow the child’s interests while also introducing them to new experiences in a safe and supportive way.

My goal is always to make sure kids are not only cared for, but genuinely enjoying their time, learning, and making happy memories.

The most important part about being a nanny...

To me, the most important part of being a nanny is creating a safe, trusting, and nurturing environment where children feel seen, valued, and comfortable being themselves. I believe every child deserves patience, consistency, and kindness, and I take that responsibility seriously.

It’s not just about supervision—it’s about building a real connection, supporting their growth, and being someone they can rely on every day. I focus on meeting each child where they’re at, encouraging their independence, and helping them feel confident in who they are.

I also value strong communication with families, making sure we’re always working together to support the child in the best way possible.

My experience with special needs children...

I have meaningful experience working with children with special needs, including those with medically complex conditions, and I am currently working as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT). In my role, I support children using individualized behavior plans and focus on building communication, daily living, and social skills in a structured, supportive way.

I’ve also cared for children who require feeding tubes and trach support, and I’m comfortable following detailed care plans while prioritizing safety, comfort, and dignity. My experience has taught me how to stay patient, consistent, and attentive, especially when responding to both verbal and nonverbal communication.

I believe in creating a calm, encouraging environment where children feel safe, understood, and capable. I work closely with families, respect routines, and always aim to support each child’s growth in a way that meets them where they’re at.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite nanny moments was seeing a child I worked with accomplish something they had been struggling with for a long time. After staying consistent, patient, and encouraging, they finally did it on their own—and the excitement and pride on their face was everything.

It reminded me why I love this work so much. Being able to support a child through challenges and then celebrate those little (but really big) wins with them is something I’ll never take for granted.
