Hi, I'm Sonja – a compassionate, experienced sitter with a background in education and special needs care. I love being a caregiver because it allows me to build meaningful connections with children while supporting families in a way that’s both fun and purposeful. I believe every child deserves to feel safe, understood, and encouraged to be themselves, and that’s what I aim to provide in every home I work with. I bring professional experience as a teacher, along with specialized training in working with children who have diverse needs, including those with developmental, behavioral, or learning differences. My time in the classroom and one-on-one settings has taught me the importance of patience, adaptability, and clear communication. Whether it’s helping with daily routines, supporting academic work, engaging in creative play, or offering calm and consistent care, I’m confident in creating a positive and structured environment. I always prioritize safety, emotional well-being, Read more and open communication with parents. I’m passionate about making every child feel seen and supported. I look forward to becoming someone your family can rely on.
