Sofia $30 per hour for 1 child

I’m a warm, reliable, and experienced caregiver who truly enjoys working with children. Much of my experience comes from being deeply involved in caring for my four nieces and four nephews from infancy through their high school years and beyond. While not day-to-day, my involvement has been extensive and consistent during the times I was needed, full weekends, outings, and family trips where I managed meals, activities, errands, and daily routines. During those periods, I naturally stepped in as an extension of their parents, creating a calm, structured, and engaging environment. Children connect with me easily - I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely present, which helps them feel comfortable and at ease. I focus on keeping children engaged, active, and cared for, whether that’s preparing simple meals, getting outside, playing games, helping with homework, or creating a calm, easy rhythm at home. Outside of caregiving, I run a home organizing and downsizing business, which reflects my thoughtful, organized, and detail-oriented approach. Available for part-time, after-school, and occasional care.
