Hello I am Sophia! I am a Florida grown and raised (Chicago transplant) Just graduated from Loyola University Chicago in December! I have been working with children for as long as I can remember to be completely honest. Throughout my high school years, I spent my summers working as a summer camp counselor for both the YMCA, as well as the Sarasota Scullers rowing team. As a counselor at the YMCA, I held the responsibilities of watching children from ages 1-13, planning activities, crafting, swimming, as well as supervision. Not only have I worked as a camp counselor and sitter, I have also been a tutor for many children throughout the years and have been able to watch them grow and succeed in many other ways along with school. I have babysat for the children of many individual families and have absolutely fallen in love with the children while doing Read more so! I am happiest and most comfortable when I am working with kids and would love to have an opportunity to get to know your children!
