A little bit about me

Hi there! My name is Sofia, and I’m a Texas native with eight years of childcare experience working with children of various ages and in a variety of family settings.

I recently returned to Houston after spending a year in Spain teaching English and working as an au pair. Living abroad was a life-changing experience that deepened my love for working with children and opened my eyes to new cultures and perspectives.

I have a positive outlook on life and an active, adventurous spirit. I love spending time outdoors, encouraging creativity, and creating a fun, nurturing environment where children feel supported and free to explore the world around them. I value building genuine connections with the families I work with and becoming someone they can depend on.

Outside of childcare, I’m passionate about travel, photography, and creative work. I’m excited to connect with Houston-area families and find a wonderful fit where I can bring my experience, energy, and care to their home!

The most important part about being a nanny...

I believe the most important part of being a nanny is building a genuine relationship with the children and becoming someone they feel safe, understood, and excited to be around. I want to create an environment where children feel comfortable being themselves, asking questions, getting messy, trying new things, and discovering the world around them. I love the little moments just as much as the big ones, whether that’s exploring outside, making up a silly game, or having a conversation on the way home from school. To me, childhood should be full of curiosity, adventure, laughter, and room to grow. Being a nanny means more than caring for children; it means showing up consistently, earning their trust, and being someone who helps make their childhood a little more meaningful.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite nanny memories was spending a summer afternoon with the four kids I cared for in Austin. We spent the day down by the creek, where the older kids wandered farther upstream to explore and fish while I stayed closer to shore with the three- and five-year-old, splashing in the water and searching for little treasures along the creek bed. We took snack breaks in the shade, soaked up the Texas sunshine, and let the afternoon unfold without much of a plan. It was one of those simple summer days filled with muddy feet, curious minds, and endless little adventures. Those are the moments I love most about working with children: giving them the freedom to explore, discover, and make childhood memories in the middle of an ordinary day.
