About Sophie

As a former substitute teacher, I like to apply Montessori methods of learning to childcare. This means I always aim to communicate clearly, with patience and kindness. I am a freelance writer and I currently work at a bookstore. In the fall, I will start my MFA in creative writing. I like working with kids because I find that I always learn from them as much as they learn from me. Having worked as a substitute teacher, an au pair, summer camp counsellor, and babysitter, I believe that it comes naturally to me to take care of children. I'm looking for a job that is stress free, and reliable where I can support kids and families in every day activities. My skills include support with reading and writing skills, teaching kids to cook and bake, and establishing strong bed time routines. I believe I am a friendly and warm presence. I can't wait to meet you!
