Hello, families! My name is Sophia, and I’m a 28-year-old Bay Area native with a genuine love for caring for children of all ages.
I truly believe that being a nanny means becoming an extension of your family. Building a trusting, lasting relationship with both parents and children is incredibly important to me, and your family’s comfort, peace of mind, and your child’s safety will always be my top priorities.
I have extensive experience caring for children ranging from newborns and infants to toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged children through middle school. Outside of my professional experience, I’m also a big sister to an 11-year-old boy, a godmother to a toddler from a family I previously worked with, and the eldest cousin of 25!
Previously, I worked as a full-time nanny for two boys, caring for them from 3 months to 2 years old and from 1 to 3 years old, respectively. I’ve continued to provide occasional care for the family, including overnight stays and vacations. Since then, I’ve also worked part-time as a nanny for a baby girl.
My experience includes infant feeding, wake windows and nap schedules, safe sleep practices, developmental milestones, teething, sleep regressions, introducing solids, school transitions, school pickups and drop-offs, light household chores, and planning engaging, age-appropriate activities. I especially love incorporating Montessori-inspired learning, sensory-rich play, and hands-on activities that encourage curiosity, independence, and creativity.
I enjoy preparing healthy, delicious meals and snacks, teaching new skills, exploring the world through play, and creating a nurturing environment where children feel safe, supported, and free to be kids. Above all, I value forming genuine bonds with the families I work with and creating a positive, dependable presence in your child’s life.
A few extra things about me: I have experience working with children with specific special needs (happy to elaborate on that as needed). Outside of that I have a reliable SUV with no prior accident history, and I absolutely love animals, so I’m happy to help with pet care as needed!
I’d love to connect, learn more about your family, and see how I might be a good fit. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to request references. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones! ♡
