Hi there! I'm Sophie and I'm looking to help out a wonderful family for this summer! I'm available for full-time work and have over 5 years experience with kids (especially from ages 3-12 years old). I have lots of experience with innovation and creativity to get the kids engaged and having fun - and also a love for it! I previously worked at Pedalheads day camp, an overnight camp, as a downhill ski race coach, and also regularly babysat throughout high school. I am entering my second year at Western in science and also have my NLS (National Lifeguard Certification). I’d be more than willing to assist you with light housekeeping and any other tasks that are needed in your home (and I also love pets!). Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you’re interested and have a great day!
