A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Sophia Van Buskirk, and I’m currently a senior at Columbia City High School. This fall, I’ll be attending Purdue University West Lafayette, where I’m excited to start the next chapter of my education.
I’m responsible, dependable, and great with kids. As a high school senior preparing for college, I’ve learned how to manage my time well, stay organized, and handle responsibilities seriously. I enjoy spending time with children—whether that’s helping with homework, playing games, or keeping them engaged in fun and safe activities.
I would love the opportunity to babysit and provide a safe, positive, and caring environment for your child. Thank you for considering me!
