About Sophia

Experience: 3 yrs

Hi everyone! My name is Sophia and I am a recent masters degree graduate. Currently looking for a full-time summer (and potentially into fall) job as I look for full-time employment. I have years of babysitting experience going back to high school when I would babysit for my old neighbors. I have a patient and nurturing presence and kids tend to gravitate to me! E. g. always caring for my baby cousins. As far as qualifications I took a babysitting course back in high school which had CPR training (although not certified). I also have a bachelors in Psychology where I took Infant & Child Development as well as Adolescent and Young Adult Development. Child development is super interesting to me and I am passionate about fostering a supportive learning and growing environment. I love hanging outside, cooking, pets, and generally playing!

Sophia is an absolutely amazing babysitter! My six-year-old daughter (almost seven!) adores her, and it truly feels more like a fun playdate than a babysitting session. Sophia is so engaging—she spends the entire time playing, talking, and making the most of every moment, whether they’re outside in nature or enjoying outings like going to the movies. I trust her completely and appreciate her warmth and kindness. She’s also incredibly easy to communicate with and is direct when needed. We’re so lucky know her!
