My name is Sophia, I’m 23 years old, originally from the East Coast and now living in beautiful BC. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology and a deep passion for working with children. I’ve always known I wanted to be a mom one day, and nannying brings me so much joy. It’s truly fulfilling to be a positive part of a child’s growth and development. I come from a loving family of five with two older brothers, and being the youngest taught me how to be both caring and resilient. I’m outgoing, fun, enthusiastic, and bring lots of positive energy into everything I do. I love health and fitness, being outdoors, exploring new places, hiking, and traveling. I’ve even lived in Australia for six months. In addition to creating a warm and nurturing environment, I bring a love for organization, cooking, and baking, and I enjoy getting creative with arts and crafts. I’m also a big fan of outdoor adventures and love planning fun, engaging activities that help kids stay active and curious. I look forward to connecting with a family that values trust, creativity, and a vibrant, hands on approach to childcare
