Meet Ruth

  • Speaks Portuguese
  • Comfortable with pets

I am 37, and have been a nanny for 7 years. I usually work with newborns-4 year but am happy to work with any age! I love working with little ones and sharing in the adventure of learning about the world, their feelings and how to engage with everything they encounter. I have a BFA in studio Art, so love bringing creativity into the everyday. I am patient about nurturing little ones in a calm, kind and loving way, helping them sit with their emotions or an experience to work through or celebrate the moment. I love baking, being silly, and music! I value a clean working environment, but know we can't always  have a perfectly clean space to fully engage in the creative process that is a little one day to day! I'm bilingual in Portuguese and English. I come from a multicultural background and bring that perspective to Read more my work. I value open communication and collaboration in all aspects of  the nurturing of little ones. I seek to understand parents priorities and values, and do my best to reflect those in the nurturing of the little ones I take care of.
