Hi! My name is Sophia. I am a Criminal Intelligence Analyst and UC Davis graduate (BA in International Relations, double minor in Human Rights & Communications) with over a decade of hands-on experience caring for, mentoring, and teaching youth of all ages.
My background in intelligence analysis means safety, attention to detail, clear communication, and quick, practical thinking are second nature to me. Parents can rest easy knowing their kids are in attentive, responsible, and capable hands.
Experience & Background
I have worked in childcare since age 12, caring for children ages 1 to 17:
-10+ Years Babysitting & Nannying: Experienced with all routines, including healthy meal prep, bath time, transport, engaging play, and bedtime.
-STEM Program Coordinator & After-School Instructor: Managed energetic classrooms, keeping kids engaged through hands-on learning, teamwork, and patience.
-Camp Counselor (6 Years): Led active daily programs for kids ages 4–12.
-Youth Mentor & Tutor (3 Years): Provided academic support and mentorship to refugee youth ages 8–17 in Sacramento.
-Pet-Friendly: Raised dogs my whole life and spent years as a shelter canine handler, so I love helping with furry family members!
Personality & Style
I bring a vibrant, bubbly energy alongside a calm, patient temperament. Whether we’re tackling homework, working on a creative project, or enjoying active outdoor fun, I love supporting children’s personal and academic growth. My approach pairs warm encouragement with clear, respectful boundaries so kids feel safe, happy, and well-behaved.
Key Skills
-Academic Support: K–12 homework help, reading, and STEM tutoring
-Languages: Native English speaker with full professional proficiency in Spanish
-Household Help: Nutritious meal prep, light cleanup, and pet care
I view caring for kids as a privilege and bring reliability, warmth, and peace of mind to every home. I look forward to meeting your family!
