A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Sophia! I’m based in the Aptos/Santa Cruz area and have extensive childcare experience, including nannying, tutoring, and supporting children with special needs. I’m currently a college student on break and will have full availability throughout the summer. Starting in late August, I’ll be attending cosmetology school, but I’ll still be available with a more limited schedule.

I love creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment for kids—whether doing arts and crafts, or staying active with hands-on, screen-free activities. I’m also happy to help with cooking, light cleaning, and helping the kids get around. I’m reliable, patient, and passionate about helping kids learn and grow!

I have been a nanny, tutor, and have background with kids who have special needs.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I would love to keep the activities screen free and sometimes educational. Some examples could be cooking/baking as well as arts in crafts. Going outdoors is also something I would want to prioritize wether its some time at the back or just a quick walk.

My experience with special needs children...

I have some experience with special needs children. I myself have multiple family members with special needs from both ends of the spectrum. I was also the best buddies president in high school where I would coordinate activities for our schools special needs classes to make them feel more welcomed into the school environment.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite nanny moment was with a family I used to work for. The mother of the family had gone into labor and I was able to be there when she gave birth to her beautiful baby girl who I later got to take care of aswell.
