Hello there prospective families! It’s lovely to meet you! I’m Sofia, a passionate, hard working, creative, and bubbly person who loves to create a safe space for young people to develop, learn, feel nurtured, and express themselves. I have just finished studying my Bachelor of Fine Arts -Acting and now work in the creative arts sector. However I also have a degree in International Politics, working previously acrossnot-for-profits in the youth and social impact sector. My creativity and love for the arts infuses my work, and I am passionate about creating a playful environment for children, whilst also having no issues with enforcing boundaries and discipline where needed. If you’d like to give me a buzz to discuss anything further, or meet in person over a coffee, please feel free to reach out.

"Sofia was amazing! I needed a babysitter last minute to look after Oscar on campus while I completed a uni assessment. Sofia responded to my ad within seconds and was so easy to communicate with to organise care for Oscar. I felt at ease instantly when I met her and knew Oscar was in good hands. Highly recommend :) "

"If I could give Sofia more than five stars, I would. What an amazing find! She is a rare combination of warm, friendly, intelligent and capable. My children loved her, and the very next day asked when she would be minding them again. Thank you, Sofia, I am really glad we found you :) "

Special Needs Experience

I have worked with various children presenting on the autism spectrum, as well as experience in supporting children with Down syndrome, learning difficulties, and health issues (heart illness, severe allergic reactions, etc).

Childcare Experience

I have been working for over 12 + years in the child care space. I’ve fulfilled roles as a nanny and live in au pair in America and England, as well as locally here in Australia. I feel highly competent in this line of work, and love being able to nurture and foster unique relationships with children where they are free to express themselves in a safe space.

Tutoring Experience

I have tutored primary and secondary school students on and off over the last decade. Having already a degree of International Politics under my belt, and currently studying another Bachelors, I have a real love for academics. I am particularly strong in the English, Social Studies, and humanities areas, but have also tutored maths and language (I speak Spanish, some Portuguese, and learnt Japanese for over 8 years).
