A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Sofia and I’m currently a sophomore at Point Loma Nazarene University. I’ve been working with kids for over 7 years through my church’s children’s ministry, and I’ve also done regular babysitting throughout high school and college. I truly enjoy caring for kids of all ages and creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment for them to grow and thrive.

I’m reliable, energetic, and always willing to help out however I can. Whether you need someone for school drop-offs and pick-ups, help with homework, taking the kids to sports or other activities, or even just someone to spend quality time with them at home—I’m happy to step in. I’m also comfortable helping with pets, light household tasks, and doing overnight care when needed.

I love building strong, trusting relationships with both kids and parents, and I bring a lot of heart and responsibility to everything I do. I’d love the opportunity to support your family however I can!
