Hi! My name is Sophia and I’m living north Portland. I would love to help with child care for your family! 🙋🏻‍♀️🦋 I have years of experience taking care of kids of all ages from infants to middle schoolers. I love going outside, playing games, and arts & crafts - anything creative and fun! I can also help with homework or school projects. 🫧🛝🎶 Some of my favorite experiences with kids have been playing dress-up princesses, baseball cards, painting, learning about dinosaurs, and pickleball. 🦕🎨🏓 I’m a great story-reader for before naps/bedtime and delicious snack-maker. 🥪🧃 I love cats, dogs, and other critters! 🐶🐢 I also can help with light house work such as cooking, dishes, laundry, etc. I have my own car and can help with school drop-off/pick-up and errands. 🚗 also a big Disney fan! 🎀

Sophia is a reliable and thoughtful communicator who was flexible and understanding as our schedule shifted over time. She consistently kept us updated and was easy to coordinate with. Her experience with children of different ages was clear in the way she adapted to our daughter’s changing needs and developmental stages. Sophia showed patience, attentiveness, and an age-appropriate approach to care.

We’ve been so happy to have Sophia as our babysitter! She’s incredibly reliable and always shows up on time, which gives us great peace of mind. She’s also warm, friendly, and easy to communicate with. Most importantly, our 4-year-old absolutely loves spending time with her—he lights up when she arrives and talks about their time together long after she leaves.

Sophia is our very first sitter for our twin toddlers (age 17m). As first time parents we were nervous about setting up someone outside our family to care for the boys, but she has been so wonderful to us and our sons. She joined us just as they were struggling with some separation anxiety and handled them and us with grace. Our sons love her company and so do we. Sophia is responsive, flexible, and prompt when scheduling, and she’s very attuned to our son’s needs. She tries out new activities with them and we feel so comfortable leaving them in her care. Can’t recommend enough!

Sophia is great! She was immediately engaging with our 3 year old son, and she shows up on time and is a good communicator.

Sophia has been so wonderful with my daughter. She has great patience and a cheerful, calm attitude. She is great at reinforcing our rules and does a great job encouraging my little one to clean up her toys! It’s obvious she has experience with little kids and truly enjoys her work!

Sophia has been a great caregiver to our three toddlers! She’s responds quickly to texts and is responsible with commitments. I love how well she receives feedback. 10/10 would recommend using her as a babysitter!
