Hi I'm Sonia; I have cared for children over 25 years (newborns to teenagers) and I also have two sons (5 & 22). I enjoy crafts, reading stories, and play games. I love to swim and go on outings to the park, zoo, movies, and my favorite is the EdVenture Children's Museum. I have CPR/First Aid training for infants/children, and adults; my oldest son is ADHD and both of them have Asthma & Allergies, so I have a lot of knowledge on that also. I am able to administer medications, prepare meals, pick-up/drop-off, run errands, and take to appointments. I have transportation, a non-smoker, and okay with pets. Currently I keep a 1-year-old daily, an 18-month-old & an 8-year-old when needed, and my 6-year-old niece most nights. I have been caring for children a long time and been a mom for 22 years, believe you me it is way different Read more having kids at 19 and again at 35. I have seen and learned a lot, but I'm always ready to see more and I believe you should never stop learning. My goal is to provide superior care and love that will launch our children into future greatness!
