Hello families! My name is Sophia. I'm a compassionate and experienced caregiver in the Anchorage area. I truly love being a caregiver because it allows me to make a positive impact on the lives of children and families. Seeing a child learn, grow, and thrive brings me immense joy. I have 19 years of experience providing care for children of various ages, from infants to school-aged kids. My experience includes providing care for my own children, babysitting, nannying, daycare, and caring for family members. I'm also a certified teacher for ASD, and I'm passionate about working with children on the autism spectrum. I have experience implementing ABA therapy, social stories, and sensory integration techniques to support their development and well-being. I'm comfortable with light meal preparation, transportation (I have my own reliable vehicle), and assisting with homework. I enjoy planning age-appropriate activities, such as arts and crafts, outdoor play, reading, Read more and educational games, to keep children engaged and entertained. I am certified in CPR, First Aid, and Child Development. I'm also patient, organized, creative, and reliable. I understand the importance of creating a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for children. I'm excited to bring my skills and experience to your family! I look forward to working with you and providing your child with the best care ❣️
