A little bit about me
Hi, I’m Sophia! I’m based in the Aptos/Santa Cruz area and have extensive childcare experience, including nannying, tutoring, and supporting children with special needs. I’m currently a college student on break and will have full availability throughout the summer. Starting in late August, I’ll be attending cosmetology school, but I’ll still be available with a more limited schedule.
I love creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment for kids—whether doing arts and crafts, or staying active with hands-on, screen-free activities. I’m also happy to help with cooking, light cleaning, and helping the kids get around. I’m reliable, patient, and passionate about helping kids learn and grow!

"Katrina is amazing! She is great at coming up with activities that keep baby happy and entertained. She has a very gentle and warm demeanor that made my little guy instantly comfortable with her. Upon request, she was happy to prepare homemade, organic baby food. Katrina is someone who I know I can trust to go above and beyond to make sure baby is properly cared for. She was also very accommodating and flexible with scheduling. Unfortunately, my family relocated to a different city, but I will always call Katrina first if we are in the area and need a babysitter!"
