A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Sofia from Finland, I’m currently working as an au pair and I’m looking to continue with similar duties as a live-in nanny starting from June.

I’m goofy, gentle and kind. My favorite thing to do with children is to goof around. Anything from silly makeup to dance performances, always ready to make a fool out of myself!

I’m a strong driver, so I’m up for doing school pick up/drop off, kids activities, running errands etc.

On my free time I enjoy baking, weekend trips, hiking and trying out new cafés and restaurants.

"Sofia was our first Au Pair for a year for our 3 kids (4, 8, 10) while I studied and returned to work. From our 1st interview, I had a gut feeling that she would be amazing, and she did not disappoint. Sofia is a kind, patient, reliable, funny, hardworking, clean, silly, and amazing person, Au pair, and friend. We welcomed her into our family, and my kids loved the year she spent with us and we all were so sad when she left. She is quite mature for her age, and she always fulfilled her responsibilities and more. She managed the kids’ routines well, engaged them all easily, and demonstrated exceptional patience with my 10 yo son (my most challenging child with special needs). She may come across as shy, but she warms up easily. She is overall a more reserved individual and enjoys spending time alone reading and talking to her family. (No parties, no drama) She brought a sense of peace to our chaotic household. Sofia will be a blessing in your life, as she was in ours. ~ Erin"
