Hi families! My name is Sophia DeShazo, and I’m an experienced special education teacher looking for a babysitting position where I can bring my passion for working with children into a more personal, family-focused setting. With a strong background in supporting kids of all abilities, I bring patience, creativity, and structure to every day. I’ve worked with a wide range of ages and needs, and I truly love helping children grow in confidence, independence, and joy—whether through play, learning, or simply being a consistent, caring presence in their lives. I’m especially skilled in creating calm, supportive environments, adapting activities to meet individual needs, and using positive behavior strategies that really work. I'm also happy to help with routines, light housekeeping, and fun outings! If you're looking for someone nurturing, experienced, and genuinely invested in children's development, I’d love to connect.
