Hi, I'm Sophie and I have a passion for early childhood education and development. For the past two years I've been a preschool teacher at an inclusion school for neurodiverse children. Prior to teaching preschoolers, I was an RBT but quickly learned that the morals and motives behind ABA and I do not align. During college was when I found my love for nannying and working with big, busy, families that like to go places! For most of my career I have cared for children/adults with ASD and I would consider it my specialty. I truly put my whole heart into everything I do and take my career very seriously.

Sophie is an incredibly energetic, creative and respectful individual who supports the entire family as needed. She always gave me peace of mind that my baby would be safe and happily entertained under her supervision. Sophie's amazingly positive attitude and enthusiasm for seeing children develop their skills and curiosity was admirable. It is clear to me that working as a nanny is a passion for Sophie. She loves working with children, and I see this manifest in her communication and creative ideas for activities. She keeps the children occupied and most importantly, safe.
