San Fernando, CA
Activity summary
Welcome message:
Hi! My name is Sofie Palacio and I'm passionate about nurturing impressionable young minds and providing families with dependable childcare. I work with children from 4th grade through high school leading group activities, guiding discussions, and creating a safe, comfortable environment where every child feels included and valued. I also have positive experience working closely with kids on the autism spectrum. I love helping children grow, learn, and have fun. I am currently studying at CSUN for a Bachelors degree in Psychology with a Child Development minor.
Parents can anticipate quick, reliable communication from me. I offer verbal updates at pickup and regular texts or calls, always implementing the parent's preferred approach. I am very comfortable enforcing household rules. I enjoy playing outdoors, sports, board games, tech games, and educational games that promote learning. I've tutored in English and Math up to college level, so l'm very comfortable with homework help. I am CPR and First Aid trained. I have a car and I love all kinds of pets (no problem taking them outside, cleaning up after them, playing with them, etc). I hope for the opportunity to bring my calm, creative, and friendly personality to your family.
