Ruth Brunton Resume

OBJECTIVE

I am a kind, adventurous, and funny nanny with 4 years nanny experience and 8+ years of child care experience. My resume will show you that my life has been a variety of childcare experiences that have allowed me to cultivate my skills to become the most helpful nanny. Some of the most wonderful times I’ve experienced have been watching over children and seeing the world as they do, with wonder. To aide parents with creating a safe environment so their children may experience the wonder the world has to offer is a big part of what I do. I am known for being a “hands on” nanny, someone who loves to play with children: swimming, hiking, exploring new places, or even a simple night in with board games and good food. I enjoy playing, talking, creating a relationship with the children I am responsible. My wonderful life experiences and even demeanor are supported by my references. I am straightforward with the rules of the household and can use sternness when needed for safety and behavioral needs. My kindness, patience, and love for children are well known characteristics in my positions. I am a very outdoorsy person and believe that to be an important part of life, so I will be taking advantage of outside play and activities. If you are looking for a kind teacher, cook, traveller, and someone who loves adventure and hands on play, I hope we may work together in the future.
