A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Ellee Cooper, and I have a genuine passion for working with children. I have experience caring for infants and young children through volunteering, babysitting, and my Child Development Internship at Carlton Oaks Elementary, where I supported kindergarten students with special needs. I am patient, dependable, CPR certified, and committed to creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children can learn and grow. I enjoy planning activities, helping with homework, preparing meals, and supporting daily routines. As a college student, I am available full-time during the summer and part-time after 2:30 p.m. during the school year. I look forward to building a trusting relationship with your family and providing reliable, high-quality care.

A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Sophia and I have 4-5 years of hands on experience caring for children from newborns to early teens. I've worked closely with families, creating safe, engaging, and nurturing environments for kids of all ages.
In addition to my babysitting experience, I also spent 3 seasons working as a counselor at the Kroc Center summer camp. I also had the opportunity to step in as an educator during COVID for the children I looked after for those few months. Both these roles helped me develop strong skills in structure, creativity, and management in fun educational ways. I also have a background as a youth softball coach, which has strengthened my ability to mentor, and build confidence in kids.
Currently I work as a receptionist in the OBGYN department at Sharp Rees-Stealy while pursuing my Master's in Teaching. My long-term goal is to build a career working with children, and I see every childcare opportunity as a meaningful step toward becoming the best educator I can be.

Nanny Hanna

"My kids love Sofi! Sofi is the kindest and sweetest. She helped with my kids while I had to work. I was nervous at first finding someone to trust with my kids but soon realized I had nothing to worry about with Sofi. She stared with our family when my kids were 4, 6 and 9. She formed relationships with each of my kids and took such good care for them. I highly recommend Sofi!!"
