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 have been working as a Nanny with ranging in age from 4 months and up to the age of 14 years old. My duties are to take care of the children, engage with them, and to provide a safe environment on a day to day basis, including, their laundry, make their beds, organize their closets, clean their shoes and organizing their toys. Sometimes they need help with homework so I assist with projects and study sessions. I assist in activities such as board games, basketball, swimming, cooking and baking. I’m also responsible for taking them to their afternoon activities such as tennis, ballet, ju jitsu, etc. I also traveled with the families.
