Hi my name is Sophie! I have been a babysitter since I was about 12 for close family friends or family. I continued to do occasional sitting jobs all throughout high school. My sophomore year of college I began nannying for a local family Monday-Friday in the evenings. They have 5 kids, which is such a fun and unique experience. I am outgoing, detail-oriented, and joyful person. I have a wide range of experience among different age groups. I have always enjoyed kids and love their liveliness. Willing to help with homework and household chores.

Sophie was incredible! Very timely and communicative.
