Hi! My name is Sofia and I am a junior in college studying to be an art therapist. I am also currently a daycare teacher working with infants and toddlers. Most of my experience in childcare comes from being a child care assistant in a daycare center specializing in neurodivergent children, where I worked for two years. I was also an assistant elementary art teacher which made me realize how much I love working with arts and crafts with kids. This led me to becoming a summer camp site director where I worked with kids ages 6-12 where we built forts using planks of wood. I am very comfortable with pets, having six of my own back home! I have recently gotten re-certified with CPR and first aid along with a food handlers certification. Due to having school and working on the weekdays I am usually only able to work Read more weekends. There are some gaps in my weekday schedule so feel free to ask further questions about my availability!
