A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Sophia.

At St. Lawrence University, I am a member on the equestrian team. In my free time I love to make art, ski, run, hangout with friends, and go on adventures.

"I highly recommend Sophia for any nanny or childcare position. She babysat often for my two children for several years, starting when they were just 1 and 4 years old, and she was truly exceptional. She was always dependable, punctual, and communicative, which gave us tremendous peace of mind as parents. More importantly, she genuinely engaged with our children — playing with them, keeping them active, and building real relationships with them rather than simply supervising. My kids absolutely adored her. She is responsible, trustworthy, mature, and incredibly attentive. I always felt completely comfortable leaving my children in her care and knew they were safe, happy, and well looked after. Any family would be lucky to have her."

More About Me

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

My favorite indoor activities include reading books, drawing, and playing games the kids made up. A few outdoor activities I find fun are going to the park, doing sports, simply walking the dog, or getting ice cream in the summer.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I live on a street that is filled with little kids who I have been babysitting for since 2019. In this time, I have developed friendships with many of them. I love that I can be a sort of older sister and role model to the kids I sit for. To me, setting a good example, especially to the young girls who look up to me is very important.

Danielle D. - Seeking Work in Philadelphia

Part-Time Child Care Provider Available in Philadelphia, PA: Danielle D.

Hi families! I’ve had a passion for childcare for as long as I can remember. From helping in my aunt’s home daycare as a child to babysitting since age 13, caring for children has always been a joyful part of my life. I truly love being a part of a child’s growth and development, and helping build confidence, motivation, and happy memories they can carry for years to come.

I’m also a proud mom of three successful adult children (26, 25, and 19), so I understand the importance of patience, encouragement, structure, and fun. I taught my younger brother how to read when I was just 10 years old, and I still enjoy creating learning moments through play, arts and crafts, storytelling, cartoons, and Disney+ movie nights.

My goal is always to create a safe, nurturing, creative, and uplifting environment where children feel supported, seen, and happy.
