About Sophia

Experience: 8 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

Hello! My name is Sophia . I am a pianist, textile and media artist, storyteller and performer, and a lover of science, history, and literature. I graduated from The New School in 2023 where I received my BFA in Drama. I have over 8 years of experience babysitting children between the ages of 3-11, as well as both pet and house sitting. I also have over two years of experience volunteering at a K-5th after-school care program called A. S. P. I. R. E. (Elliot Point Elementary in Okaloosa County), as well as two years of experience volunteering at a wildlife rehabilitation center called E. C. W. R. I adore animals and working with children and love to provide support to families through child and/or pet care when needed.

My partner and I were introduced to Sophia via a fellow parent at school who has had her babysit for their 3rd grader. I have 2 boys, a two year old and a ten year old. I wish my kids were a walk in the park but the terrible twos are real! And as for the older one, keeping up with him physically has been challenging for both me and my husband. We didn’t use a sitter for our first as we didn’t trust anyone and the idea of leaving your baby with someone else is paralyzing! This time our biggest concern was that someone knew how to change diapers. Sophia was with us for about two years, between 2021 and 2023, every Tuesday, Friday and Saturday and sometimes did overnights as my partner and I work in design and have big projects. She was always accommodating, punctual, respectful and frankly a delight to talk to. Some of her duties included but were not limited to, making breakfast and lunch for the kids, changing diapers, reading books before bed, occasional errands such as getting the kids haircuts, baby gymnastics, and school pickups. My children have different needs and something tells me the baby was the easier of the two as all he does is eat, sleep, and make a mess. The older however, is very into sports and art and his mind is always running a mile a minute. I don’t know how well exactly she did with the physical activity but having someone there to pick up the slack for us old folks has been a godsend. I do know however that she wants to be an actor and has studied the arts so she always kept him occupied artistically. Having a reliable and consistent sitter in Manhattan doesn’t come around often and had we not moved upstate she would still be with us. Five stars for Sophia!!!
