Sophie has been babysitting for my 4 year old whirlwind of a little girl weekly. My daughter can be quite an energetic handful, but Sophie’s naturally calm nature is very good for children. We cannot recommend Sophie enough. My daughter absolutely adores Sophie, and always looks forward to seeing her.
From a parent’s perspective she is punctual, reliable and has good communication. If you happen to meet Sophie and find her appearance young, do not be worried because she is wise beyond her years, has a very hardworking ethic, and uses her own initiative. If anything being a teenager has helped my daughter as she views Sophie as her fun friend. I can vouch that Sophie is calm, capable, and we trust her with our daughter’s care completely.
