Meet Sophia

Hello, my name is Sophia! I’m about to be 21 years old and taking care of children is a passion of mine! I graduated high school three years early, I went to school for cosmetology where I received my cosmetology license, I have my associates degree in health science and I’m currently back in school completing a variety of things :) all of my schooling is online for the next couple of years so It will not interfere with my work schedule! I have taken care of children since I can remember and I have been a nanny full time for 5 years! I adore children and being a nanny is a job I wouldn’t trade for the world. I have a passion for teaching and taking care of people and when I’m a nanny, I get to do both! Being a nanny is the most rewarding job and I’m Read more blessed to be a part of so many families! I believe is staying active and having fun! I love any and all outdoor activities, arts & crafts and games! I feel you are never too old to get down and have fun and let your creativity and imagination shine, especially when surrounding yourself with children as your job :) I have a 100% clean driving record, I drive a 2013 Ford Focus vehicle that is inspected once a month to make sure it is on top shape due to me having children constantly in my car which is also perfect for car seats if needed. I have experience in ALL ages from newborns-15 years of age! I have experience with twins and special needs children as well. I am one of the hardest working people I know. I am reliable, flexible, trustworthy and very dependable. I will be your right hand person and do whatever you may need! I cook, clean, do laundry, run errand! You name it, I can do it :)
