Hi! I'm a recent college grad with a degree in psychology and over five years of experience with kids. I have experience working with kids of all ages in all capacities, including babysitting, nannying, and working as a summer camp counselor at both an outdoor paddling camp and performing arts camp. I'm fun, outgoing, and love getting creative-whether that's arts and crafts, making up games, or playing outside. I also really enjoy cooking and am always happy to help with meals and snacks. I'm highly responsible and always aim to create a safe, supportive, and fun space for kids to be themselves. I'm currently looking for a part-time nanny position and would love to connect!
Sophie is simply awesome in all ways! She worked with our family as a nanny from 2020 to 2021. During that time, Sophie cared for my daughters, L (then 11) and R (then 9), at a particularly stressful moment in our household and in the world. The pandemic created many challenges, but Sophie’s presence brought steadiness, kindness, and joy into our lives. She quickly became an indispensable part of our family. From the start, Sophie impressed me with her maturity, organization, and commitment. She has a natural ability to connect with children, and she made each day brighter by bringing fun, creativity, and consistency. Whether it was cooking meals, helping with errands, assisting with homework, providing extra tutoring, or driving the girls to their activities, Sophie approached every task with reliability and care. I had complete confidence in her judgment and abilities—so much so that I often turned the entire household over to her, knowing that she would handle things seamlessly without missing a beat. Sophie also demonstrated exceptional skill in working with my youngest daughter, who has ADHD and faced significant challenges with online schooling during the pandemic. Many days were fraught with frustration and behavioral struggles, but Sophie’s patience, creativity, and calm demeanor consistently diffused tension and kept my daughter engaged. She developed thoughtful strategies and inventive approaches that not only supported my daughter’s learning but also preserved her sense of dignity and self-worth. As a parent, I was often inspired by Sophie’s ability to navigate situations where I myself felt at a loss. What makes Sophie truly remarkable is the combination of her intelligence, compassion, and values. She is bright, dependable, and thoughtful, and she cares deeply about the people around her. Even after her formal time with us ended, Sophie has continued to stay connected with my family. She never misses a birthday and always makes an effort to see my daughters when she visits. That ongoing relationship speaks volumes about her character and the genuine bonds she forms with the children she cares for. I recommend Sophie wholeheartedly for any position she chooses to pursue. Any family fortunate enough to secure Sophie will thank their lucky stars—she is the rare kind of caregiver who not only meets practical needs with excellence but also leaves a lasting positive impact on the family she serves. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you would like additional details about Sophie’s time with our family. Sincerely, Dr. Jenny
