Hi, my name is Sonia, and I am a reliable, friendly and responsible babysitter with a passion for caring for children. I have experience taking care of kids of different ages and always make sure they are safe and happy. I love creating fun and creative activities to keep them entertained. I am patient, punctual and committed to providing a calm and safe environment for children. I speak Spanish and have basic English skills, but I am always willing to learn and communicate as best as I can. I have flexible availability and can work afternoons, weekends or by the hour, depending on your family's needs. If you are looking for someone you can trust to care for your kids, feel free to reach out. I am ready to help. I have a university degree in business administration from my home country. I am a person educated with high moral and ethical values. I have been caring for children for 40 years, and although these are my daughters, nephews and grandchildren, it gives me the necessary experience to know how to care for children of all ages.

I am a dedicated caregiver with a Bachelors Degree in Exceptional Student Education with endorsements in Autism, English Language Learners and Reading. I have experience caring for children from infancy to age 12 as well as providing loving care for seniors and pets. As a former caregiver for my grandmother, I understand importance of patience, companionship and assisting with daily needs. I am also a pet owner and I am comfortable tending to dogs and other animals with care and responsibility. Being a mother to a two year old, I am very skilled at multi-tasking, nurturing, and creating a safe, engaging environment. I was previously a kindergarten teacher to Students with Autism in a cluster class before I stayed home as a mother. Since I am a stay at home mom, I work around when my mom is able to watch my daughter. I can always bring her along with me if you'd prefer the added bonus of a sweet and energetic 2 year old to make my availability more flexible. Whether caring for children, seniors, or pets, I bring attentiveness and reliability to every role.

I’m a current 3rd year medical student interested in pursuing pediatrics and pediatric psychiatry. I am officially trained in CPR [Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) Basic Life Support (BLS)] for both adults and children. As part of my medical training, I have helped care for children of all ages in both outpatient and inpatient settings including those with learning differences or neurodiversity. As a middle child, I have experience with older and younger children which informed my approach to babysitting (and conflict management 😊). I am comfortable taking care of and working with both young and older children. On a personal note, I am a Florida native with immigrant parents from South America, thus I have a native proficiency in Spanish and I love soccer. Also, I have a background in art. I am open to preparing meals for children as long as any allergies, dietary restrictions, or preferences are disclosed in detail. I am comfortable with pets in the home if they are well-behaved/trained and have no history of causing any illness, injuries, or bites to others. For transparency: pet-sitting is not one of the services I offer. In addition, I have experience as a summer school teacher and tutor for middle school and high-school students. I offer tutoring for middle school, high school and college levels in the following areas: basic sciences, biology, general chemistry, biochemistry, anatomy/physio, psychology, neuroscience, history, writing, reading, college and medical school application essays, SAT/ACT/AP exam in the aforementioned subject areas, MCAT exam (behavioral science and CARS sections). I have experience tutoring since I was in middle school, high school, college and have continued to do so in medical school. For your convenience, I am more than happy to overlap tutoring with baby sitting depending on the number of children and their ages. For example, if there are two kids to be watched and the older one is being tutored, I would feel more comfortable if someone else was home supervising the other child if that child is very young at least for the duration of the tutoring session.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
