Experience: 12 yrs
Nurturing young minds is truly my passion. For the past 12 years, I've had the joy of caring for children of all ages, from toddlers to teenagers. My previous babysitting, tutoring, overnight camp staff and assistant teaching experiences solidified my desire to positively impact young lives. I am patient, creative, and approachable, and I enjoy playing outdoor games, board games, and even some technology-based games. I'm comfortable caring for up to three children at a time. I have some graduate-level education, and I am fluent in both English and Spanish. I can assist with cooking, meal preparation, and light housekeeping. I communicate with parents through verbal updates and text messages, always respecting their preferred method. I also follow their lead in enforcing household rules. I am certified in First Aid and CPR Training. I believe in creating a safe and fun environment where children can learn and grow. I look forward to bringing my experience and enthusiasm to your family!
Sofia has been taking care of our 4yo son since September and has been absolutely wonderful. She is warm, caring, and genuinely good-hearted and handles every situation with calmness and thoughtfulness. Our overall favorite thing about Sofia is the activities she creates for our son. Many times, I would hear our son laughing hysterically from his room while playing —things like building tents out of sheets or turning pairs of socks into little rockets. Other times, they would be building LEGO sets, doing crafts, reading books, cooking recipes in the kitchen or doing experiments. She was able to really cater to his particular interests - which is something we appreciate. She is responsible, responsive, and punctual, and she is always fully present with our son—she is never on her phone. This was a non-negotiable for us, and it was refreshing how easy this was. She also handled everything we asked of her with intention and care, including specific dietary instructions, correcting seating posture, and reinforcing manners such as “please” and “thank you”. Overall, it was smooth and enjoyable to work with her—she is professional, dependable, and kind and we had complete peace of mind when our son was with her. We would definitely recommend Sofia!
