Experience: 9 yrs
I have worked with children in multiple different fields since I was 9-years-old, providing love, care, and kindness to the kids I work with. I have taught dance to children ages 2-14 for nearly 8 years, working either individually with kids or in large groups to foster confidence and passion. Outside of dance, I have five siblings under the age of 15; I often care for them, providing them with meals, transportation, and supervision. I have also babysat children for many years, ranging from ages 3-13. I am a college student at UMD, majoring in psychology and minoring in early childhood studies. I have obtained my Associates Degree and I will earn my Bachelors Degree next year. I love working with children, and hope to become a child psychologist. I can guarantee that my ample experience mixed with my love for children will make me a great fit for you. I am available for most of the summer (May-August), as well as sporadically, so please reach out!
Sophia is absolutely wonderful with our two boys—they adore her and always look forward to spending time with her. She has a natural ability to connect with kids and keeps them engaged, active, and happy without relying on screens, which we truly appreciate. Not only is she fun and energetic, but she is also thoughtful and intentional in how she spends time with them. Our boys have learned so much from her, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about their growth and well-being. We trust her completely and would highly recommend her to any family looking for someone responsible, kind, and amazing with children!
