A little bit about me

Hi there! My name is Sophia, and I’m currently a second semester nursing student at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center in Abilene, working toward my goal of becoming a Pediatric Oncology Nurse Practitioner. I come from a big family, so caring for kids has always been a natural part of my life. Over the years, I’ve gained extensive childcare experience with children ranging from 2 months to 9 years old.

Caring for children has been one of my greatest joys for as long as I can remember… I’ve loved kids from the moment I was old enough to hold one! My nursing education has strengthened my skills in safety, patience, and compassionate care, and I would love the opportunity to bring that same dedication to caring for your little ones.
