My Summary
About Me
*Currently looking for a position. Ideally a 3 day role (around 30 hours) Please send me a message if you think I am the right fit for your family!*
Hello! I’m Sofia, I am 25 years old and I am based in South-West London. I'm a nanny with a passion for creativity and a knack for adapting to any situation. My dedication to providing exceptional care is matched only by my patience and friendly demeanor. With a first-class degree in acting, I bring a unique blend of imagination and professionalism to every interaction. I believe in fostering an environment where children can learn, grow, and have fun, all while feeling supported and valued. I have been in the childcare sector for 5 years now, looking after children ranging from newborn to 13 years old.
I hold a clean driving licence and have my own car, which I am happy to use on the job. My current DBS was obtained in August 2023, I am also on the update service. I was awarded my paediatric first aid certificate in July 2021 (expires July 2024) and I am up to date with all my vaccinations (triple vaccinated against Covid-19). I'm currently in the process of gaining my NCFE CACHE Level 3 Award in Childcare and Education.
Looking forward to bringing my adaptable and creative approach to your family!

Below are the latest reviews for Sofia. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk users and not of Childcare.co.uk.

Sofia has looked after my two girls (1 and 3) many times at our home and she’s always been on time, with a fresh energy and the patience of a saint! My girls really love how imaginative she is, they have a real giggle together, and Sofia just gets on their wave length. She is very capable and caring, and I’ve been happy for her to take them to the local toddler group, out to the park, and be left on her own with them for full days etc. She’s very communicative and easygoing, I highly recommend!
