A little bit about me

Hi! I’m a dependable and compassionate caregiver who loves working with kids and helping them feel safe, supported, and excited about their day. I bring a calm, structured approach to care — and I also believe having fun is just as important.
I enjoy engaging kids through play, outdoor time, creative activities, and conversation, while also helping with routines, homework, and transitions. I’m known for being patient, upbeat, and easy to connect with, and I value open communication with parents.
I aim to be someone kids look forward to spending time with and parents feel confident leaving their children with.

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

Relevant experience where I also cared for children was through my work as a therapeutic mentor and camp counselor, where I supported kids both emotionally and day-to-day. At camp, I was responsible for them around the clock, and in my mentoring role, I helped them work through challenges using therapeutic approaches and building strong, supportive relationships.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Activities I enjoy doing with children include being outside, playing games, doing creative projects, playing music, reading, and working on puzzles—just creating fun, safe spaces where they can relax and be themselves.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny is making kids feel safe, understood, and supported. When they have that, everything else—learning, confidence, and growth—comes naturally.

My experience with special needs children...

My experience with special needs children comes from my work as a therapeutic mentor, where I supported youth with a range of emotional and behavioral needs. I focus on building strong, trusting relationships and helping children develop emotional regulation, communication skills, and confidence. I bring a patient, calm, and supportive approach to meet each child where they are.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite nanny moment is when kids get comfortable enough to just be themselves. They’re so funny in the most unexpected ways, and I love how curious they are about everything. Getting to be part of that and see the world through their eyes is really special to me.

Live-In Full-Time Nanny Available in Richmond, VA: Sophie F.

My name is Sophie, and I’m 18 years old. I am the oldest of four kids. Growing up as the oldest has taught me to be patient, responsible, and nurturing.

My biggest dream in life is to be a mom someday. Working with children has always felt very natural to me. I’ve held multiple jobs thought my life, including lots of babysitting and nannying. When I was just 12, I nannied a two-year-old for a summer, which gave me a lot of hands-on experience and confidence in my ability to care for young children. Since then, I’ve continued to babysit for families in my community, caring for kids of all ages.

I’m a kind, calm, and responsible person. I stay collected and positive even during busy moments. I believe there’s always something to be grateful for. I love kids and enjoy getting to know their personalities, helping them learn, grow, and feel loved.

I also love to cook and enjoy preparing healthy meals. I speak Spanish, which helps me connect with even more people and cultures.
