Hello there! My name is sonia and I’d love to volunteer to help you out in your time of need! I am highly qualified in babysitting/nannying/housekeeping/dog walking! I also have a ton of references. So please don’t hesitate to ask for them. I’m willing to start work asap. Please let me know if you have any questions :) thank you! Also just wanted to say sorry in advance for the bad reviews about me. I’ve already reached out to the family members to discuss the miscommunication/situation, yet the families still felt the need to write a bad review. No worries though! My hard work speaks for itself. Thank you for considering me and not judging me due to other’s comments! Have a great day

Sonia was absolutely great! Very sweet, attentive, responsible, & detail oriented. She has watched my 7 year old daughter. She was responsible for preparing breakfast, driving her to school, picking her up from school, preparing snack, after school routine, & preparing dinner. From our first contact, Sonia was very friendly, responsive & punctual. We had a phone interview, which she was on time for. She was persistent and responsible in asking me for the daily schedule/routine. She was even on time to arrive at my house at 5:30 am! My daughter told me Sonia “was the best babysitter she has had.” Thank you Sonia! See you soon!

Sonia is very untrustworthy. We hired her a few times towards the end of 2019 to care for our 5-month old baby. We then made arrangements with her to hire her for all of 2020, one day a week. We specifically asked her if there was any chance her schedule might change, and she said it would not. Then, the day before she is set to work for us on a regular basis, my husband checked in with her to confirm. It was then that she told us that she had a school conflict and could not work for us. This was a ONE DAY NOTICE on a long-term commitment. We're now left scrambling and desperate to find a one-day-per-week person. Would she have told us if we hadn't texted her the day before? Did it not occur to her to tell us as soon as she knew that she had a conflict? This is a shocking lack of integrity for a child care provider. Do not hire this woman.

We scheduled a face to face interview, for which my husband took time off work to be present, and she didn't show up. I messaged her twice during the day to confirm and she didn't even bother replying - I wouldn't have minded a response just saying "sorry I changed my mind/I'm not interested", but this behavior showed lack of professionalism in my opinion.
