Ruth very quickly became one of our toddlers most favourite people. She helped develop his speech, taught him new vocabulary, helped him prepare for arrival of his little sister, took him to farms and various other activities and adventures which he loved - all of this completely out of her own initiative. When little sister arrived, Ruth adored her like she would her own child or grandchild even though she had just met her.

As parents, we trust Ruth with our children and home blindly. No matter how hard the truth may have been, Ruth has been nothing but honest. She looks after our house as if it were her own, familiarising herself with how we live and also offering suggestions for improvement.

I could not recommend Ruth more as a guardian of our home, pet and children. She is a loved part of our family.
