About Sonya

Experience: 10 yrs

Hello, my name is Sonya. I am 41 and am a mother to 6 children, but my babies aren't babies anymore. I homeschooled my children and was/am a children's church teacher throughout their childhood (over 15 years). My 15 years of experience caring for children, from infants to teens, has equipped me with patience and creativity needed for fun and educational environments. I've had a lot of success helping children regulate big emotions. I know how harmful screens can be so I do focus on outings such as: gardening, bird watching, exploring nature/bugs, etc. I'm big on arts and crafts and can even teach piano. I have no problem caring for multiple children and hold current First Aid and CPR Training certifications. I'd love to follow your preferred method for daily updates. Being TrustLine certified is important to me. I truly hope to make a positive impact on your children's lives, and I look forward to hearing from you to see if I'm a good fit for your family. -Sonya

Sonya is truly everything you could ask for in a nanny—a warm, patient, and energetic caregiver who is absolutely dedicated to creating a nurturing and joyful environment in which your child can thrive and grow. From the very beginning of her time with us, Sonya has exceeded our expectations in developing a loving bond with our son and making each day an engaging and educational adventure for him. She fosters his curiosity by encouraging him to explore the world around him and collaborates with him in creating elaborate play scenarios and turning everyday occurrences into fun and enriching learning experiences. We are constantly impressed by the way she plans and executes creative and engaging hands-on arts and crafts activities that perfectly cater to his interests—and that result in creations that he treasures and plays with for long afterward. When our son has encountered certain social or emotional challenges, Sonya has offered the caring support and patient guidance that has enabled him to successfully tackle and overcome those problems. She always keeps us informed of any minor issues or developments, and it gives us such great peace of mind to know that our son is being cared for by someone so very reliable and conscientious. We feel incredibly fortunate to have been blessed with a nanny like Sonya—who has enriched our son’s life (and our own lives) in an immeasurable way.
