A little bit about me

My name is Sophia, I’m 21 years old, and caring for children has always been a big part of my life. Growing up with several younger siblings gave me early hands-on experience, and I later built on that by working for two years at a childcare center, caring for children from infancy through preschool.

I’m outgoing, responsible, and take pride in maintaining a clean and safe environment. I love spending time with kids whether it’s helping them learn new things, encouraging creativity, or simply making them feel cared for and supported. I’m always open to learning new skills and embracing new experiences, and I bring a positive, adaptable attitude to everything I do.

Part-Time Mother’s Helper for a Newborn

Lead Teacher for 2-Year-Olds at a Childcare Center

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love all kinds of crafts, no matter the level of difficulty. I’m currently learning chess and tennis, and it would be wonderful if the children have an interest in those as well. That said, I truly enjoy learning and trying new things, so I’d be just as excited to explore new languages, instruments, or skills alongside the children and support them in their activities.

The most important part about being a nanny...

the most important part of being a nanny is creating a loving, trusting, and supportive environment where children feel safe to explore, learn, and grow, while giving parents peace of mind knowing their little ones are cared for.

My experience with special needs children...

My father was the Executive Director of the Mayor’s Youth Empowerment Program (MYEP) in Iowa City, a nonprofit that supports children and adults with intellectual, developmental, and physical disabilities. Growing up around this work gave me a deep respect and understanding of individuals with special needs from an early age. Because of that experience, I am more than open to supporting any child in my care, and I approach each situation with patience, compassion, and a genuine willingness to adapt to whatever is needed.

The most important part about being a nanny...

As a mother’s helper, I also babysat their older son on weekends. Since the family lived on a large piece of land, he especially enjoyed feeding the chickens and exploring outdoors, which made our time together both fun and engaging.
