Hi! I’m Sonia — a friendly, reliable, and loving mom of three (ages 14, 9, and almost 2) with a big heart for kids and years of hands-on experience. I was born in Colombia, raised in Texas, and lived in London for 20 years before coming back to the States. I come from a warm South American family, so creating a nurturing, family-like atmosphere comes naturally to me. I work as a substitute teacher, so I’m very comfortable with kids of all ages and know how to keep things both fun and structured. I also have a BA and MA in Journalism and Communication Arts, and I love encouraging creativity, curiosity, and learning. When I’m not working, I’m usually cooking (healthy meals are my thing!), staying active, or spending time with my husband and kids. I’m also fluent in Spanish, so I’m happy to help little ones learn or practice Read more the language. ✅ Experienced with babies to pre-teens ✅ Spanish & English speaking ✅ Pet-friendly ✅ Available evenings & weekends ✅ Can help with homework, playtime, meals, and more! If you’re looking for someone kind, honest, dependable, and who truly gets kids, I’d love to connect. Feel free to reach out — I’d be happy to chat!

I put all my trust in Sonia with my son many times. He loved when she would show up to care for him. She made sure he was fed, was rested, she read to him, came up with the most creative and fun activities. No wonder he loved it! She is a very patient, nurturing, and kind-hearted. I have also seen her with her own children. She is an amazing mom and person and would do great with any child of any age. I also asked her on numerous occasions to watch our dogs while we were out of town and she treated them as if they were children! They got walks, always fresh water, had their food, and lots of love.
