A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Sofia and I am a DU graduate with a Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts, with a concentration on studio art. I love including creativity in any job that I have. This past fall semester I have been leading a learning pod with three second graders and one first grader. In the 2019-20 academic year I worked at St. Anne's Episcopal School as an after school assistant where I earned my CPR certification. My main role was always to ensure the safety of the students. Ever since middle school, I have baby sat on and off for kids in my neighborhood and even my four nieces and nephews. The majority of the kids I have cared for ranged from being 1 years old to 8 years old. I am also bilingual, I speak Russian and English fluently, and I picked up a bit of Japanese and Spanish in high school and college. Let me know if you are interested and would like to chat!
