Hi! I'm Sophie, a career nanny based in the Portland metro area with 5+ years experience caring for children from infancy through preschool age. I've been babysitting since I was 13 and began professional nannying in 2020. Before that, I spent five years as a synchronized swimming coach, working with athletes ages 5 to 75. That taught me patience, strong communication, and how to tailor support to each individual-skills I use in every childcare role. I bring a calm, consistent presence and pride myself on creating a safe, loving environment where kids can thrive. I'm confident with all things infant and toddler-naps, bottles, solids, big feelings, and milestones. I also enjoy working with older kids and supporting their growth through creativity, consistency, and connection. One of my longtime nanny kids is transitioning to pre-K in mid-September, so I'll have Tuesday/Thursday/Friday availability opening up. I'd love to connect with a family looking for dependable, thoughtful care!
We are so grateful for Sophie! She was our part-time, in-home nanny for our little guy, starting at six months old until he was 2.5 years (just before he went off to daycare). She is so caring and nurturing, while also teaching strong boundaries. Sophie helped through baby-led weaning, sleep regressions, first steps, first words and engagement in development-appropriate activities (inside and outside of the house!). Our guy has blossomed into a well-adjusted and confident toddler, and we can certainly thank Sophie and her tremendous one-on-one care for helping with that. I would never hesitate recommending Sophie for any family looking for a trusting, reliable caregiver to include in their village.
