Hello! My name is Sophia. I’m 18 years old and from the United States. I just finished my first year of college, and I’m looking for an opportunity to become an au-pair in Germany (or a German-speaking country). I’m a history nerd, I love art and spending time outdoors, and I absolutely love working with children! I would love to help make your home a happier and brighter place while learning more about German culture and hopefully making meaningful connections abroad.

I’m very social and have years of experience taking care of kids - I volunteered at a local bible school summer camp for 5–10-year-olds and at an aquarium where I taught kids about sea animals and the environment. While working at an art store at 16 years old, I hosted kids crafting events where I taught kids how to paint, sculpt clay, and more. My most recent job entirely revolved around kids while I worked at a kids' entertainment center with trampolines and an obstacle course. I had to check them in, supervise their safety, and occasionally help with accidents (ex. vomit or pee) and small injuries. After all this, I still absolutely love taking care of and spending time with kids. I really enjoy teaching them new things, helping them through obstacles (no matter how small), and encouraging their creativity.
