Ruth 1 review
$16 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Richmond, TX

Hi! My name is Ruth, and I’m a high school senior planning to attend college next fall to study Construction Management. I’m a responsible, patient, and caring person who enjoys helping others and making sure children feel safe and comfortable. I have experience caring for my mom’s friend’s daughter, Belen, who is now two years old. I’ve been helping take care of her since she was 3 months old. I also have experience looking after my younger sister, Alexa, who is 11. Through these experiences, I’ve learned the importance of patience, responsibility, and understanding each child’s individual needs. I enjoy having fun and keeping children entertained, while also making sure they follow appropriate rules and boundaries. My top priority is always the safety and well-being of the children I’m caring for. I’m excited to meet new families and provide dependable, caring, and trustworthy childcare!

“Ruth was amazing with my three kiddos aging 2 to 3. A great communicator, professional and kind. ”

Mahsa $15 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Mahsa. When I was in highscool I was apart of my school's Education and Training Program! My freshman year I took Principles of Education and Training, my sophmore year I took Child Growth and Development, and my junior and senior year I was in the Intructional Practicum. In the practicum, I went to either Tom Wilson, Keiko Davidson, or Odessa Kilpatrick elementary and was a teacher's assistant! Ive taught Prek-5th grade, spedning 6-12 weeks with each class I was helping. I bonded with my students, their parents, and the lead teachers so much. I made lesson plans, organized the classroom, graded assigments, taught class lessons, worked in small groups, worked with students who were apart of the special education program and tutore students indivisually. I now have an Educational Aide I certificate from Texas Education Agency (TEA). I absolutley loved my time with the kids. It made me so happy to know I got to help them grow as people. I was able to build a lot of trust with my students and form a real bond between us. My best memories with them are playing tag with all the kiddos at recess, really getting the chnace to know them through one on one converstaion, and reading books to the class while making sillt voices for the chacters. Right now I'm studying for my Bachlors of Liberal Arts - Psychology, with a minor in Child Development and Family Studies. My biggest dream is to become a childrens therapist. I have a lot of passion for psychology and I LOVE spending time with kids so its the perfect fit for me. :) I have my own car, and am willing to do anything "extra" to accomidate for the needs of the child.
