Meet Our Team
Sophie
Owner and Director
'Hello! My name is Sophie Kadim and I am the owner and director of Soph's Sitters Ltd. We are a childcare agency based in Hertfordshire providing childcare for weddings & private events where we deliver our premium Pop Up Creches catering for bespoke packages and themes.
Soph's Sitters was established in 2021 where we began as a babysitting service supporting local families with evening and weekend childcare. This small but very successful enterprise has grown so much that it has enabled us to host childcare at bigger functions and events. Here at Soph's Sitters we take pride in building a strong rapport with our clients and want to ensure we continue to provide the highest quality of childcare to your little ones.
I consider childcare a vocation and I expect all those working at Soph's Sitters to also have that same passion. Being a part of a child's development and growth as well as seeing them reach their early years milestones is so rewarding. I have worked in the childcare industry for over 14 years, beginning as a Level 3 nursery nurse then moving into management as well as working as a private nanny for many years. I also have a background in business studies and recruitment. After working for a babysitting service for several years, I decided I would like to start up my own company so stepping down from nursery management and starting my own business seemed the natural progression for me.
As a childcare provider we completely understand the importance of leaving your children in trusted hands, and. We live up to our ethos of being 'a parents first choice'. Our staff are fully vetted holding childcare and paediatric first aid qualifications, alongside being quality assured through the company as well as being DBS checked and referenced.
