Sofia

Reference Checked

Hi, I'm Sofia, a 20-year-old from Sweden with a strong background in gymnastics and childcare. I did gymnastics for 14 years and have continued as a coach because I love gymnastics and working with children. I enjoy outdoor activities, crafts, games, and spending time in nature. This winter, I'm staying in Chamonix to enjoy the ski season and would love to continue working with kids while I'm there. Besides childcare, I've also worked in a grocery store and at events through a catering company where I served and helped prepare food, which has given me experience in responsibility and teamwork.

Intro

Hi, I'm Sofia, a 20-year-old from Sweden with a strong background in gymnastics and childcare. I did gymnastics for 14 years and have continued as a coach because I love gymnastics and working with children. I enjoy outdoor activities, crafts, games, and spending time in nature. This winter, Im staying in Chamonix to enjoy the ski season and would love to continue working with kids while Im there. Besides childcare, I've also worked in a grocery store and at events through a catering company where I served and helped prepare food, which has given me experience in responsibility and teamwork.

Qualifications

I hold a high school diploma and have over 8 years of hands-on experience working with children in various roles. I have worked as a gymnastics coach for children aged 6 to 16, including 4 years as a head coach, where I was responsible for planning training sessions, ensuring safety, and managing a team of assistant coaches. In addition to my coaching experience, I have been a babysitter since the age of 15, regularly caring for two children from the ages of 3 and 5. I have also worked in both schools and preschools, gaining experience with children from 1 to 10 years old. Through my role as a gymnastics coach, I have completed several leadership and first aid training courses. My first aid training includes CPR, the Heimlich maneuver, and injury management. I am passionate about working with children, and my background has given me the skills to create a safe, engaging, and supportive environment for them.

Experience

I have extensive experience caring for children of various ages. I have regularly babysat two children at a time since I was 15, starting when they were 3 and 5 years old. In my work at the school and preschool, I have cared for larger groups of children ranging from 1 to 10 years old. These roles required managing multiple children at once, while ensuring their safety, engagement, and wellbeing. Additionally, through my 8 years as a gymnastics coach — including 4 years as a head coach — I was responsible for training groups of up to 15–20 children aged 6 to 16. This has further strengthened my ability to care for and lead children of various ages in both structured and unstructured environments.

My References

  • Absolutely! I've worked alongside Sofia for several years as one of the lead gymnastics coaches. During that time, she has always been a colleague I could completely rely on. One of Sofia's greatest strengths is her empathy, she's an incredible listener and consistently provides a sense of stability and reassurance for the children we've coached together. She is also wonderfully creative and had a real talent for planning engaging trainings, always finding fun and imaginative ways for the kids to learn and develop their skills. Any family would be lucky to have Sofia in their lives.  Best regards, Francesca
  • Sofia is an incredibly responsible and delightful young woman with great workethics. She has worked with us at Nacka Gymnastics Association since she was 13 years old and has always been very well-liked by both children and parents. I, as the Head of Sports, have always found it extremely easy to collaborate with Sofia. I can warmly and confidently recommend her for babysitting. Best regards, Jannicke Carle Head of Sports – Nacka GF
  • Sofia is incredibly kind, good hearted and pleasant. We have used her services for perhaps 5-6 years now. The children loves her and they usually dinners together and plays bord games together afterwards. We always trust her judgement and when we often return home the children are asleep. We don’t even have to give her rules - she has good knowledge about what’s reasonable. We are happy for her that she is going abroad. We will all miss her, especially our children who wants us to contract her more often so they can spend time together. I give her my best recommendations for Sofia. She is truly great -which her mother mentioned early to us! Sincerely Magnus Hofström
