Hi, I’m Sophie! I’m currently studying Dance Pedagogy at the University of Hartford and have a passion for working with children. I have four years of experience as a Personal Care Attendant for individuals with special needs, making me an attentive, adaptable, and patient caregiver. As a PCA, I assisted individuals (ages 7-22) in daily tasks such as bathing, feeding, meal preparation, and exercising. I also transported and accompanied individuals to and from errands. I’ve also worked as an assistant dance instructor for two years, helping children express themselves creatively while developing discipline and confidence. Additionally, I completed a semester-long internship in a first grade classroom, helping to supervise and assist 21 students in their learning. Beyond that, I have experience babysitting for children ages 4 - 11, assisting with bedtime routines, reading aloud, and guiding art projects and other activities and games. I am very energetic and open to Read more exploring whatever your children are interested in - whether it's crafts, sports, dance, music, reading, or the outdoors! I love being a sitter because I get to play a part in nurturing the curiosities of young minds! References available.
