Hi, I'm Sofia! I have worked in early childhood education for 10 years as an infant and toddler teacher, preschool teacher, assistant director, preschool product developer, and classroom designer. I have a BA in Child Development from CSULB and a certificate in Infant & Toddler Development from Irvine Valley College. I am CPR and First Aid certified for infants, children, and adults, and am trained in child health, safety, and nutrition. I'm an extraordinarily friendly, warm, and lighthearted person who loves to laugh and have fun! I'm very physically active and love to dance, swim, go for walks, and play movement games that engage a child's gross motor skills. I am also very creative and enjoy arts and crafts as well as playing the guitar and the banjo. (Little kids LOVE playing and singing along, especially with the banjo!) I believe that childhood is a precious time that should be Read more filled with love, play, laughter, exploration, and discovery. I love hands-on learning, messy art projects, playing in the dirt and going outside in the rain! I am a nanny who values firm, clear boundaries as well as mutual respect between child and caregiver. I believe in positive discipline and am very influenced by RIE principles of trust, respect, and allowing children space to explore independently. I take special care to listen closely to everything the children in my life have to say, and respect their feelings and desires just as I would expect them to do with those around them! I believe that children learn from what they see modeled by the adults in their lives, and as one of the adults in your child's life you can be sure that I will consistently model respect, communication, civility, and overall pleasantness. Please feel free to contact me if you'd like to chat further about my experience or your family's needs. Hope to hear from you soon! :)
