A little bit about me

Hello, My name is Sofia. I am 23 Years Old, I currently live part of the time in Akron with my sister + best friend, and the other part of my time I spend working on a farm in Loudonville Ohio. I am new to professional childcare, but I have lots of experience babysitting my cousins, my moms friends kids, and more recently my boss at the farms 3 lovely boys. I have been loving the babysitting I have been doing recently so much I thought I have to start building my experience doing this because I can see myself making a career out of it. I would love to be the fun, energetic, kind, patient, helpful babysitter your family is looking for. I am CPR, AED, and First Aid certified. I don't turn my nose up to hard work (cleaning up, changing diapers, homework etc.). I have a reliable car. I am working only the weekends currently at the farm so my availability is super open throughout the week. Please feel free reach out to me to set up a call or date to get to know each other.

Recent reference

"I can't say enough nice things about miss Sofia. She offered up her help watching my daughter, Umi, when she heard me talking about looking into daycare and how expensive it can be which was such a life saver. I'm a single mom who works full time and having someone I can trust to take care of my daughter meant the world to me. Umi just adores her, She has such a gift for finding the balance between being a friend to Umi and doing what she knows I would want her to when she has to steer her in the right direction. My Daughter admires her so much and Sofia is the kind of young lady you want around to be a good influence. She's really responsible and motivated. She's also great at teaching a workout class which was a good influence on me too. She's a great cook and is so creative which is important to me. Your family would be lucky to have her around."

A little bit about me

A mom to 4 boys ages 22, 20, 18, and 15. My professional experiences started in 2002 as I started college and focused on Early Childhood Education. I obtained over 70 college credit hours. I worked in a few daycares in the early 2000s. I was a toddler lead for 3 years at Active Little Explores in Canton, Ohio from [phone number hidden]. I switched rolls and became a Certified Nursing Assistant and Home Health Aide. I have over 20 years experience in that field. I have been CPR certified a few times, but not currently. I am willing to obtain this if necessary. I’m a compassionate and loving person who is dependable and punctual. I have a clean driving record as well as a clean background! I am very flexible with my days and times. I can start as early as needed in the AM and can work over nights as well! I want to help teach children and make a difference in their lives for the better! I would always make sure your child(ren) are in a safe environment and protect them as I would my own.
