About Sophia

Experience: 8 yrs

Hi! My name is Sophia and I am a third year student studying human biology at UCSC. I've had lots of experience with children and references are available upon request. I'd love to find a babysitting job in Santa Cruz before school starts. I've been lifeguarding and teaching swim lessons for four years, so I am very responsible and patient. While babysitting I enjoy playing games, reading stories, going outside, and being creative. I can also help out with schoolwork. I have a large amount of experience working with kids who have special needs as I taught Special Olympics swimming for 5 years. My schedule is flexible. I am taking the SIP seriously and I will take whatever precautions needed to keep your family safe. I'd love to find a great family to help out :)

Sophia is wonderful and we feel so lucky to have hired her! She is very punctual, responsive, super hands on and wonderful with kids. Our daughter loves her and gets so excited when it's time for Sophia to show up. Sophia is able to strike that perfect balance of fun and friendly with kids while also being firm and maintaining boundaries. She will keep your kids engaged and entertained while also making sure they clean up their room at the end of it. What more could you ask for?
