A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Sophia! I’m 22 years old. I’ve spent the past four years working as a barista/supervisor at Starbucks, but I am now looking for a more family centered job. I absolutely adore children, and have had lots of experience volunteering in church nurseries, and helping raise four of my younger siblings (one of which is special needs). I love art/illustration, creative writing, animals, and time in nature. In high school I took child psychology as well as family relationships psychology classes. I am very active and focused on health and wellness. I enjoy doing house work such as dishwashing, laundry, cleaning, and taking care of any pets as well. I’m currently living with my Grandpa to keep him company while I focus on my career in social media marketing/leadership. I love the gentle nature of raising children (I hope to do the same for my own in the future) and I want to do everything I can to learn about how to help children grow into the best version of themselves they can be!

A little bit about me

Hello! As a stay-at-home mom to a wonderful 17-month-old son, I understand firsthand the importance of providing a safe, engaging, and caring environment for little ones to grow and thrive.

I’m passionate about early childhood development and love helping children explore the world through play, learning activities, and outdoor time. I’m also highly reliable, communicative, and always committed to maintaining routines and respecting each family’s unique needs and values.Because I care for my son full-time, I would bring him along to any nannying opportunity. He is a sweet, friendly toddler who enjoys playing and interacting with other children. I find that having a little playmate can be a positive and enriching experience for other young children in my care.I’d love the opportunity to support your family while providing a caring, safe environment for your child or children. Thank you for considering me!
