Meet Sonya
- Comfortable with pets
I’m a college student at William & Mary majoring in Public Health with several years of experience caring for children. I’ve babysat and tutored 6- and 9-year-old boys, and I regularly look after my niece and nephew, ages 4 and 6. These experiences have given me a strong background working with elementary-aged children and a genuine enjoyment of building relationships with them. I previously worked as a lifeguard, which provided me with CPR and water safety training as well as the ability to remain calm in overwhelming situations. In addition, I am fluent in Russian, intermediate in French, and very comfortable caring for pets, I especially adore dogs. I’m available most evenings and selected weekend days, and I would love the opportunity to support your family by creating a safe and caring environment for your children.

Sonya has done a wonderful job babysitting my two kids (5 and 3) several times over the last few months. She is punctual, responsible, and a great communicator. She is playful with the kids, follows their lead with preferred activities, whether it is coloring, imaginative play, or racing cards. Sonya is able to guide them through transitions and bedtime routines. We appreciate her updates about the kids throughout the night. We feel very comfortable leaving her alone with our kids, and highly recommend her!
