About Sofia

Experience: 9 yrs

My name is Sofia , and I'm honored to have worked as a full-time nanny for the past 7 years. I have experience working with multiple kids at a time, including twins, newborns, and kids with special needs. Before becoming a nanny, I worked as a Behavioral Therapist for two years, where I learned valuable techniques to accommodate each child's unique needs. I was also a foster parent in my home state of Texas for a total of 2 years, where I had the opportunity to help children in need of love and a safe space. This experience has been the most rewarding of my life. I'm CPR certified and CPS (children passenger safety) certified. I've also had the privilege of introducing my native language, Spanish, to most children I've worked with. I believe that children thrive on routine, and because of this, I strive to accommodate the child's needs to a school-like schedule throughout the day, integrating outings as a source of stimulus for the child's development.

Sofia has been an incredible support to our family of four kids. As a resident training to become an OB-GYN, my schedule could be unpredictable, and Sofia was always flexible, reliable, and calm under pressure. She cared for our toddler and school-aged children full-time during the summer and did occasional overnights. My kids adore her, and I always felt at peace knowing they were in such capable and loving hands. I highly recommend her!
