Meet Sofia: A nanny, babysitter, and au pair in Windsor, VIC

Hello, I'm Sofia from Ireland. I studied social care; a core module of this course was child development in which we learned about the importance of play, expression and creativity in children's well-being and development. I worked as a nanny in Ireland for three years where I looked after three children between the ages of 9 months and 8 years. I was responsible for feeding the baby, changing his nappies, picking the eldest child up from school, bringing the children to and from extracurricular activities, making dinner and doing homework with them. Aside from these duties I brought the children to the park, the zoo, played board games and did arts and crafts with them. I was also responsible for household duties including laundry, vacumming, mopping, sanitizing surfaces and tidying. I am the oldest of three and, my youngest sibling being 8 now so I have years of looking after children in my own family as well! I also worked in a children's residential home.

A bit about myself, I love nature and hiking, spending as much time as I can in nature while living in a city! I also spend my free time doing creative writing, yoga, pilates and swimming.
