Booked by 8 families in Boulder Creek, CA

I am a responsible and passionate childcare provider with over 8 years of experience, committed to creating a nurturing environment where children feel safe, valued, and engaged. Currently pursuing a psychology degree focusing on early childhood education, I prioritize both emotional and academic support for children's growth. Compassionate, empathetic, and a great listener, I build meaningful connections with children and families, ensuring trust and dependability. My multitasking skills and adaptability allow me to handle various tasks, from homework assistance to meal preparation. As a preschool teacher for the past two years, I've gained hands-on experience guiding children through educational activities and daily routines. I've also worked with California State for Choices for Children, adhering to state regulations, and my Trustline background check guarantees safety. If you're looking for a caring, responsible, and experienced childcare provider, I'd love the opportunity!

“Jaylysa was available on short notice and was engaging with the kids. She took my 2 kids to the park, fed them and put them to sleep. She communicated well, too. I would hire her again! ”

Hi, I’m Soni! Nice to meet you! I want to help your family! I like to spend time with kids because they teach me a lot and, of course, I teach them new fun adventures and games. I used to babysit for a family in SF (~2 years). I have taken just occasional jobs, but I have been working during all my time in the USA as a babysitter (~4 years) plus some occasional in Colombia (~7 years). I’m studying to become a chiropractor, so I can’t take full-time jobs, but I do take part time or occasional jobs! I would love to help your family also during my breaks ( usually 1 to 3 weeks), so don’t hesitate to reach out!

“Sonia was great with our twin boys, keeping up with their energy and playing non stop! We will invite Sonia back again!”
