About Sophie

Experience: 7 yrs

Hello! I am a graduate of UMaine with a degree in Sociology and I have 8+ years of professional childcare experience. I also have tutored children and can help with remote learning. Additionally I have experience working with the elderly, cleaning, cooking, and assisting with pet care. My passion in life is helping children learn and grow in a nurturing environment that honors who they are and what they are interested in; with plenty of play, reading, baking/cooking, crafts and time outside along the way. I would love to help a family navigate this unpredictable time by knowing that their children are safe and well cared for, and while maximizing joy in every day! In addition to working with children I am looking for some opportunities working with the elderly to provide a friendly face and high quality care. * time availability can be flexible, times listed are just ideal * *my photos with children have been approved by their parents for this use!*

Working alongside Sophie, I got to know how kindhearted and selfless she is. We worked together at a small home school, with kids who came to us because they do not function well in the public school system. We had some kids that I found difficult to work with. Not explicitly, rather through her actions, Sophie consistently reminded me that when we weren't receiving respect from students, our job was never to demand respect, but to first understand why the student felt so uncomfortable that they needed to resort to disrespect. She instilled this "understanding first" attitude in every one of her coworkers, veteran and novice caregiver alike. Working alongside someone like Sophie helps remind you why you do what you do.
