Sofia I have known for around 18 months. She started volunteering with us (in girl guiding), and now moved on to being a leader of the group, and shall take over as support for the lead. She's brilliant, helps prepare lessons, keeps them under control and is very organised. She is very well prepared and has very good ideas. I would highly recommend her looking after children. She is looking after 4 to 7 year olds, and they all love her. These kids include a Downs syndrome children and special needs' children (including severe autism). She is really reliable, and helps out at short notice. I cannot speak highly enough about her.
Sofia is a lovely girl who communicates and engages well with children. She was always very pleasant and polite. She was very aware of our health and safety and safeguarding rules.
