A little bit about me

I’m a nurturing, reliable, and safety-focused nanny with a background in law enforcement, corrections, and special education, bringing a unique balance of structure, warmth, and professionalism to every family I work with. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, trained in defensive tactics, and experienced in caring for children of all ages, including those with special needs.

I have hands-on nannying experience that includes childcare, light housekeeping, errands, school and appointment pick-ups, private tutoring, and consistent communication with parents. I’m highly creative and artistic, play three musical instruments, and love incorporating music, art, cooking, baking, and fun educational activities into daily routines.

Most importantly, working with children is a long-term career goal for me. I truly love helping children feel safe, supported, and confident while creating a positive, engaging environment they can thrive in.

"My family had a wonderful experience with Sophia! She took care of my children (elementary age) off and on for 2 years. She is kind, diligent, caring, and understanding. Not late once and was great with communication! If I had my way, she’d nanny for us forever; but we moved. Sophia went above and beyond with the care of my children. They loved her, and so did we. :)"
