About Sophie

Experience: 10 yrs

Hi there! I'm Sophie :) I've been babysitting for about 10 years, and working with kids has always felt super natural to me. I love creating a warm, playful vibe where kids can be themselves, get creative, and have fun. During community college, I worked at a tutoring center in Marin, helping students with homework, study skills, and staying confident in subjects that felt tough. It taught me a lot about patience, communication, and how to make learning feel less stressful and more encouraging. I also spent time at Santa Cruz Waldorf as an Auxiliary Coordinator, where I got to do all the best parts of childhood alongside the kids; crafting, nature hikes, imaginative play, and supporting their creativity in every form. I'm a big animal lover too, with a super sweet pup of my own, so homes with pets are always a plus for me! If you're looking for someone experienced, upbeat, and genuinely passionate about working with kids, I'd love to connect!
