Hi, my name is Sophia, let me start by saying that I appreciate that you are taking the time to read my profile. Some fun facts about me, Ann Arbor is my home town, but as an adult I Have had the privilege to live and see a lot of places in the country. Professional Experience: During the 2[removed] school year, I served as an AmeriCorps member in Seattle. The program I was served with is called City Year. They provided me with over 100 hours of training on how to teach and mentor elementary age students while I provided support in a 3rd-grade classroom. I had a group of students I tutored throughout the year with the curriculum I developed based on classroom practices. I ran a before and after school programs provided by South Sound YMCA from 2015-2018, providing care for 20-45 school age children any given day. During school breaks, I was a day camp counselor, an assistant teacher for Power Scholars, and a camp director. I also wrote and implemented the curriculum for all of these programs. For the last 5 years I have been a paraprofessional in public schools. Working with Special Education students, helping support them in general ed classes and in special education classes. I have worked in preschool, middle, and high school. Education: I have a B.S. in Psychology from Western Washington University where I focused on child development. I minored in Social Justice in Education. Babysitting Experience: I started babysitting when I was 14 years old. I have experience taking care of ages 6 months - 10 years. I also have siblings who I grew up babysitting since they are 10 and 13 years younger than me. References are available upon request.

Im 25 years old with two bachelors degrees. One in biology the other in health sciences. When I got out of college, I got a job working in my field as a chemist and realized I did not enjoy it. When I was in college my sophomore and junior years, I watched two boys an infant and a two year old two days a week. I really enjoyed having the job and teaching the kids. Currently, I’m interested in possibly going back to school for early childhood education. I enjoy being around kids, and I think that I have the patience to provide excellent care. I had a large extended family growing up, and I often ended up watching them because I was so much older. I also am very open to helping out with pets and light cleaning. I’m not experienced with working with special needs children. I am happy to talk in person tell you more about my child care experiences and anything else. I’m looking for part time employment and can sometimes be last minute notice.
