Hi! I am an 20-year-old college student attending the University of Maine, Orono where I am studying Psychology and Pre-Medicine in hopes of becoming a Pediatrician. I have two younger siblings and have been around children my whole life. I've been babysitting them and their friends for the last 6 years. However I have been professionally babysitting for the past three. I am comfortable around children of all ages and am more than happy to help out around the house as well! A little about me: I am passionate about a lot of things but my main hobbies include making arts and crafts, exercising, and anything that involves the outdoors. My friends and family would describe me as creative, caring, patient and thoughtful. I would describe myself as outgoing, empathetic, hardworking and reliable. What you should know: I am dedicated to making all children feel safe, happy and heard. I am willing to follow any rules/guidelines parents set for me and I can't wait to meet you all!
Highest recommendation for Sofia! She watched my sister-in-law and I’s children — ages 2.5, 1, and 3 months — for a family wedding. We were a little worried given the ages and bedtimes might be a bit tricky but Sofia put us completely at ease and the kids loved her, including the 1 year old who had never been watched by anyone outside the family. Would absolutely hire again if I had the chance!
