Calm, reliable and focused on children’s safety, wellbeing and family support.

Qualifications and experience
References
Sonia is very caring, kind, fun and reliable. She would take my child to Gymboree, do cooking, swimming, singing, reading, playing, and teaching French. I would recommend her as a babysitter.
Sonia looked after my child. She is reliable, punctual, trustworthy and caring. She has a strong affinity with children and aims to please in all elements of her work. She happily and confidently follows routines and instructions. She provided full daycare from breakfast in the morning, attending local playgroups and baby classes, nursery drop off and trips to parks/playgrounds. I would recommend her!
