Hello there! My name is Sofia, I have a bachelor's in psychology and extensive experience working with babies and children (6 years of paid experience and a lot of voluntary work with low-income children). I have worked in kindergarten settings, daycare settings, and as a live-in and live-out nanny in different parts of the world. My degree in psychology has given me valuable knowledge about child development and the importance of children growing up in safe and emotionally regulated environments where they can explore safely and lovingly. I love working with children and being part of their growth process. Caring and nurturing adults bring up children who are also caring and empathetic, which is why I am committed to quality care for children. I believe children thrive in a nurturing and warm environment that fosters learning, exploration, and emotional connection. This belief drives my passion for providing excellent quality care Read more for children, tailored to their unique needs and the family's needs. My commitment guides every aspect of my care, aiming to provide a solid foundation for emotional intelligence and resilience.

My wife and I cannot say enough good things about Sofia. She is so sweet with our 6 month old son Rishi and she truly cares about him. He immediately smiles when he sees her and loves spending time with her. She is very engaging with him and I feel safe leaving our baby with her. She is punctual and timely with communication. She is fluent in English and Spanish and I hope Rishi will pick up some Spanish from her. Sofia also cooks for our family, helps with the babies laundry and keeps the kitchen and play area tidy and cleans up after herself.
