Meet Sofi
- Comfortable with pets
Hello! My name is Sofi Andrews (she/her). I have extensive childcare experience and have cared for infants through teenagers, groups up to 5 at a time alone, and children with autism, ADHD, and severe allergies. I worked as a full time nanny for 6 months for a 3 year old and 7 year old. I also have experience planning activities, including creative crafts and games, and have assisted with online classes and homework. I am currently studying occupational therapy and pursuing a career in pediatric OT, as I am passionate about working with children. I am kind, patient, and enthusiastic, and build strong bonds with the kids I care for. I consider myself a fun and creative babysitter, as I try to turn off screens and play with the kids as much as possible, especially outside when weather permits! However, I am responsible and know how to set rules, boundaries Read more and structure. I can assist with pick up/drop off, food prep, laundry, housekeeping, and pet care (I have experience dog sitting and have a dog and a cat myself). Looking forward to meeting your wonderful family!
