Hi there! My name is Sophia, and I have an extensive background working with children of all ages in various settings. I am currently a Court-Appointed Special Advocate (CASA). I partner with the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services and CPS to advocate for the best interests of children in the foster care system. My current case includes 4 siblings ages 10-17. On weekends, I work at local churches providing Sunday daycare to infants, toddlers, pre-K, and elementary school children. Previously, I worked in a special needs classroom with children ages K-3 grade for two years before I became a part-time nanny for little 2 girls for three years. Since then, I have taken on childcare opportunities for family, friends, and clients of SitterCity (families), SitterTree (churches), KiddieCorp (corporate conferences). I have a love for reading, arts and crafts, imaginative play, and listening to little ones that simply want an audience for their wildest stories and ideas. Some of my favorite activities include nature walk BINGO with the task of finding specific items along our route, acting out our favorite books or movies complete with costumes if we can, and building something together like LEGOs, a fort, etc. When I'm not working with kiddos, I’m a Director at a nonprofit helping women in LATAM become homeowners and build generational wealth.

Sophia is absolutely wonderful! We felt so comfortable having her watch our 11 month old, along with our dog who is not the easiest to navigate. From the very beginning, she was very thorough with excellent communication, asking all the right questions to make sure she was prepared for any scenario. She also brings a warmth into the home that instantly puts you at ease, which is often tricky when leaving your baby with someone you don't know. We typically only have sitters come at night after our baby has gone to sleep, but Sophia is someone I would feel completely comfortable having watch during the day and putting down for bed if needed. We are so happy to have found her and can't wait for her to come back again.

Kim has been our nanny since our daughter was 4 months old. She has been such a blessing to our family! Kim is very patient and kind. She has helped us get our daughter on a great schedule and has played a huge role in our daughter’s development. They go on walks together, go to the library, and Kim is very creative thinking of brain-boosting activities for them to do. We could not have asked for a better nanny! We have the utmost trust in Kim and will miss her very much when we start daycare. Any family would be so lucky to get the chance to work with her.

Perla is much more than a supervisor; she is an active participant in a child’s growth. During her time with our daughter, she focused on: • Developmental Play: Engaging in plenty of tummy time and floor play to encourage reaching and rolling. • Sensory Discovery: Using music, high-contrast books, and "baby-talk" to stimulate early language and visual skills. • Routine Consistency: Expertly managing bottle feedings and nap schedules, ensuring our daughter felt secure and well-rested. 100% Recommend her she Amazing!!!

Natalie was super responsive, eager to discuss her skills and very sweet. I did a video interview for her, and I could tell she really likes children. We didn’t pick her due to schedules not aligning.

Autumn has been great working with my two girls. As a single, full-time working mom, she has been great supporting me on a regular basis, helping with after school and weekend care. Autumn has been very patient with both of my daughters, specifically with my daughter who is on the spectrum and has other health challenges. She has been a great resource and often jumps right in without needing little to no direction.

I have a 5 year old that would need to tag along most days. I’m energetic, creative, and innovative. I can make learning fun if need be. I can cook clean and bake. I can usually get shy kids to come out of their shells a little. And temper tantrums are no worry I can de- escalate situations before they get too far.
