A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Sofia, originally from Brazil. I grew up in a house full of kids because my mom ran a daycare. By the time I was in high school, I was already helping her out, which gave me tons of hands-on experience (and some fun stories to tell!).

I’ve worked with kids of all ages, from newborns to energetic toddlers, and I’m CPR certified. I’m super patient, love getting creative, and enjoy finding ways to keep kids engaged and curious.

When I’m not working, I’m a student of architecture who loves to travel, hike new trails, and soak in different cultures.
