Our Service

Rescued by Ruthenna! (RbR!) is an on call babysitting service, connecting families to the community. Our service specializes in individual family childcare serving infants to pre-teens. We pride ourselves on words like fun, firm, safe and values. They are qualities that enable us to care for children in a manner that facilitates love and respect. Our job is to reinforce what parents are developing in their children. Our goal is to allow parents the invaluable time they need to be people.
