About Sonia

Experience: 10 yrs

I have been a nanny for 30 years. My experience consists of working with families on a long-term basis, caring for infants and toddlers until they are school aged. I work closely with the needs of both parents and children. I spend my time with the children doing arts and crafts, reading and playing. I am a native Italian, my kids usually learn to speak some Italian. I have American Red Cross Infant and Adult CPR and First Aid certs. My driving record excellent and I own a safe and reliable SUV. My European background is unique. I have traveled Europe with my families, even taking kids with me on vacations in Italy for a special experience. Being Italian, I bring many "Old World" values into my routine. I find that children respond to this well . Please review my references, I'll be happy to respond to any questions you may have.

I can't say enough about how wonderful our experience with Sonia was. She was part of our family for three years and the caregiver relationship only ended because my family is military and was reassigned. Sonia was a dedicated caregiver to my two children who went through many changes during the time she was with us including living and attending schools in Germany which offered many challenges. Sonia is truly more than a caregiver, she is an educator. She frequently researched learning techniques and cultural ideas to help my children learn their American heritage while teaching them about Italy and Germany. She also came up with creative projects to keep the children entertained which kept their minds active all afternoon. She provided recommendations when either child had struggles with schoolwork or any other issues which was greatly appreciated. She went above and beyond often doing errands for me when needed such as picking up milk or new ballet slippers, etc. It was also a treat to come home and find she had cooked up a wonderful Italian dish for us all to enjoy if I were running late from work. She took care of me as well as my kids! I trust her with the most important part of my life and she was absolutely worthy of that trust. Sonia took the kids on an educational trip to Italy and they occasionally stayed at her house when I had business trips. They learned, they laughed and they had amazing experiences with her. I highly recommend Sonia to care for your children. She is patient, helpful and very loving and will make an excellent addition to any family. The children frequently tell me how much they miss Miss Sonia.
