I am a Columbia University graduate with a BA in psychology and a concentration in education. I have experience with children both in professional as well as personal settings. Currently I am an assistant teacher in a prekindergarten classroom as well as a tutor at a learning center. Before the pandemic, I was an assistant teacher in an infant room at a preschool. I have worked previously as a teacher in daycare classrooms as well as in the elementary school setting. In the past I've worked as a tutor and as the associate director of education at a learning center where I tutored students from kindergarten through high school in various subjects which included reading, writing, math and study skills. I have also tutored children privately in reading and math. I am the mother of six children ranging in ages from 10 to 23 years of age. I would love the opportunity to tutor and/or care for your child as I treat each child as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you!
Sonia did an EXCELLENT job caring for our 4 rambunctious children in an unfamiliar short term rental while I attended a wedding. She communicated very well prior to the booking and was professional through and through. She checked in as the date of the booking got closer. She arrived on time and ready to help. She has a very kind, calming demeanor and engaged well with the children. It was clear that she knew how to confidently handle what some might consider chaos. She asked good questions about logistics and how to best care for the children. I felt completely confident leaving my little ones with her even after having just met her. She updated me as the night went on (not overly so such that it was a distraction, but just the right amount to let me know the kids had calmed and had gone to bed). She had the kitchen nice and tidied from the dinner festivities. If I lived in the area permanently, I would absolutely have Sonia watch my kids again.
