A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Sophie, and I am 19 years old (turning 20 in February). I am currently a Business Management major with a minor in Entrepreneurship. I have been babysitting since I was 14 and have experience as a nanny for two children for nearly three years, as well as working as a tennis instructor for children ages 4-18+. I am CPR, First Aid, and Heimlich certified and have always loved working with children. Growing up helping care for my 10-year-old brother, younger cousins, and family friends' children has strengthened my passion for childcare. I am responsible, patient, caring, flexible, and a strong communicator who strives to create a safe, fun, and positive environment for children. I am available to start January 30th and am generally available Monday through Friday evenings, with some weekend availability.

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I was also a tennis instructer this past summer for the city of Janesville and I worked with kids from 4-18+.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love planning fun, engaging activities that keep kids active and entertained. Some of my favorite things to do with children include arts and crafts, outdoor games, sports, trips to the park, reading books, helping with homework, baking simple treats, playing board games, and encouraging imaginative play. As a former tennis instructor, I especially enjoy teaching kids new skills, building their confidence, and finding creative ways to make learning fun. I strive to create a safe, positive, and supportive environment where children can have fun, learn, and be themselves.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny is building a trusting and positive relationship with both the children and their parents. Parents are trusting you with their most important people, so it is essential to be reliable, responsible, and communicative. I believe a great nanny helps create a safe, supportive, and fun environment where children feel comfortable being themselves. It is also important to be patient, adaptable, and attentive to each child's unique needs. For me, being a nanny is about more than just supervising children. It is about helping them learn, grow, gain confidence, and creating memories that make them excited for the time we spend together.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite nanny moment is when the kids are sad to see me leave at the end of the day. While I never want them to be upset, it is incredibly rewarding because it shows that they genuinely enjoy spending time with me and look forward to when I come over. It lets me know that the bond we've built is meaningful and that they have fun doing the activities we plan together. Knowing that the children feel comfortable, happy, and excited for my next visit is one of the most fulfilling parts of being a nanny and reminds me why I love working with kids so much.
