A little bit about me

I’m an experienced nanny and the oldest of four, with more than a decade of hands‑on childcare under my belt. I’ve cared for children of all ages, from infants to preteens, and even managed a household for three months while the parent was abroad. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, passionate about helping kids learn and grow, and excited to support a family that values kindness, creativity, and consistency. I love creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for every child I work with.

I’m also very comfortable around animals — my family has chickens, rabbits, dogs, and cats — so pets are never a problem and always a bonus.

A little bit about me

My name is Sofía Delgadillo. I am 30 years old and the oldest of two siblings. I consider myself a responsible, proactive, and respectful person. I enjoy working in a team, but I can also work independently. I am detail-oriented and I know how to work under pressure while staying organized and focused.

I have 10 years of experience in customer service, which has helped me develop strong communication skills, patience, and problem-solving abilities. I also have one year of experience working as a nanny, which I truly enjoyed because I like working with children and supporting their daily routines and development.

I am a very organized person, and I like to set goals and achieve them. I am excited about the opportunity to continue growing as a nanny and to provide a safe, caring, and positive environment for children.
