Sonya is an incredible caregiver for our 1-year-old. She’s attentive, engaged, proactive, thoughtful, forward-thinking, and always anticipates his needs. She’s a joy and pleasure to be around. She’s warm, dependable, communicative, nurturing, capable, responsible, and brings such a positive presence into our home. She’s genuinely invested in his well-being and development. We are so lucky to have found Sonya and can’t recommend her highly enough.
