Hi, my name is Courtney Ruddiman and I am a first year student at the University of British Columbia- Okanagan. I am from Oliver, so I know the valley quite well. I've been babysitting since I was thirteen years old. Over the years I have provided childcare from children ranging from newborns all the way up to preteens. I love spending time with kids however old they May be. I am a very outgoing and energetic person. I love spending time outside, especially during our amazing Okanagan summers. I'm always game to kick a soccer ball around a field or build sandcastles on the beach. Whatever makes your kids happy will make me happy. I was a well respected babysitter in my community, as I was hired from high school teachers and local doctors to watch over their young ones. My main priority is to make the kids feel comfortable and safe with and around me. I would love the chance to work with and in your family.
