About Sonja

I have always loved children. I was an avid baby-sitter in middle and high school. When I was in college (at Skidmore) I would work at day care centers during holiday and summer breaks. I went to graduate school and received a dual masters in Early Childhood Ed and Special Ed from NYU. I taught Kindergarten for 7 years in inner-city Philadelphia before moving to Saratoga Springs. Here my husband and I opened a restaurant (and then another, and then another). I have spent the last decade balancing my time between raising my own two children and helping my husband at the restaurants. Our children are now both in elementary school and I am taking time away from the restaurants. I miss spending time with little ones and would like to find a part time job caring for one or two infants or toddlers. I am looking to work primarily while my children would be in school but do have some flexibility with my schedule.
