Sofia W.

I’m Sofia, a 22-year-old native New Yorker with a vibrant spirit and a heart full of love for children. Graduating from Kenyon College with a BA in Dance and Spanish, I’ve had the privilege of immersing myself in various roles that have shaped my journey into childcare.

During my college years, I wore many hats from being a head tour guide for prospective students to hosting my own radio show on campus. I also volunteered in a fourth grade classroom at a nearby elementary school.

I am a seasoned camp counselor, having taught dance to kids of different age groups and fostered growth through hands-on activities, including urban farming with the non-profit Harlem Grown. From navigating public transportation to exploring the vibrant streets of New York City, I ensured each camper felt safe, supported, and inspired.

Currently, as a Student Success Coach with City Year New York, I work closely with fourth-graders in East Harlem, guiding them through academic challenges and fostering social-emotional growth. I work closely with students in my class who are seeking asylum from South and Latin America, and I’m dedicated to helping them navigate language barriers and find their voice in the classroom.

My approach to childcare is rooted in empathy, responsibility, and creativity. I believe in fostering an environment where kids feel heard, understood, and free to explore their interests. Whether it’s helping with homework, sparking creativity through arts and crafts, or simply sharing laughter, I’m dedicated to creating meaningful connections with every child I encounter.
