My skills
Hello! My name is Sophie Lamarche and I am an extremely outgoing, friendly, and caring person. I love kids of all ages from newborns to teens and I have worked most of my life with children through summer camps, sports and now the teen program assistant at the YMCA. I was president of Leaders Club, a member of the YMCA Teen Ambassadors Board, I helped to plan a Rally for 270 teens, and was apart of the Conference Life Committee for the YMCA Christian Values Conference. I am very passionate about working with teens and helping them grow into productive members of society. I have been babysitting for 7 years and nannying for 2 years, for ages ranging from 2 months to 15 years, as well as twins, kids with ADHA and Autism. I also have 6 years of experience rock climbing (up to 's) and I am in the process of becoming lead certified. I have photography experience including photoshoots for pay of children, sports, and landscape. I have experience using Photoshop, as well as InDesign, and I do video editing using iMovie and Final Cut Pro. I have experience with customer service at a conference center for the YMCA.

About Me
I am a super adventurous, outgoing, outdoorsy, and kind person. I love anything outdoors, including swimming, rock climbing, hiking, camping, biking, and nature photography. I love to relax and read in my hammock and I'll read anything from rock climbing books, nonfiction, fiction, anything! I am a very optimistic person, having dealt with brain surgery and a year of debilitating effects before it, I am tough and can push through anything. I am looking to improve my language skills and get to know new friends from far off places!
