Columbia Nanny Sonia's References

“Sonia has been an integral part of our family, since she was introduced to us from the Nanny Agency in Columbia to care for our then-10 month old. It was an interesting arrangement, one in which multiple families shared her caretaking services, working as one family and alternating households on a weekly basis. I was immediately impressed at how well Sonia was able to manage several different kinds of personalities, not to mention how easily she adapted to different parenting styles; while applying the highest level of professionalism, a positive attitude, knowledge and understanding of infant and toddler needs and safety, not to mention providing an exuberant amount of love. Sonia has been our nanny exclusively since late 2007, after we had our second child, and the other families we previously had an agreement with opted out of the "nanny-share" with children in school full-time. There are no words to describe what Sonia means to us. She is like family and our children do not recall their lives without her. Sonia is very playful, patient, kind, gentle and intuitive. It is clear, and a true testament to who she is as a human being, employee and caretaker, that she will do what is necessary to make people happy. Sonia is also very clean, timely, happy, and pro-active. She has taken the time and consideration to come to know us and our household as well as we know ourselves. She gets things done before we even have to ask."

“Our family's experience with Sonia has been more than we could’ve ever dreamed of when we found her almost four years ago. We contacted the Nanny Agency in Columbia during the summer of '99 hoping to find a nanny to care for our infant triplets. From the moment we interviewed Sonia, we knew she was exactly what our family needed. She was able to care for the infants, giving them the love and care they deserved. And she reassured us, as new parents, that caring for 3 new babies was nothing new to her after having raised her 9 brothers and sisters, in addition to her previous experience being a nanny! She was constantly working with our little ones from getting them on a schedule (eating, sleeping) to giving them exercise time in order to strengthen muscles. As new parents to multiples, it was extremely reassuring to know our babies were being cared for by such an incredible person. As our babies grew, so did Sonia. She moved with them from infancy to toddler hood, keeping them busy and loved. Sonia also moved with us physically when my husband's job took us from New York to Philadelphia. After almost a year's employment with our family, she relocated with us to our new home here in P A. We consider ourselves very blessed for this as this enabled our relationship to continue for another 3 years. We truly appreciate the consistency Sonia has provided to our children. We give Sonia the very highest recommendation possible for future employment and would consider the next employment family a very lucky one.”

“I am highly recommending Sonia to you as a nanny from the Nanny Agency in Columbia. Sonia watched our daughter, Sally, for the first two years of her life. In fact, Sonia watched Sally, and our neighbor's daughter, Alexis. She was able to give them individual attention while engaging both of them. She was actively involved as a nanny. She read to the girls, took them on walks, and played games with them. There was always an activity (unless they were napping). Sonia is gentle, but can provide discipline. She is very loving. She cared for them like they were her own children. Sonia left our family because we were expecting our second child. We agreed that Alexis' family would continue to work with her and we would get another nanny. We were sad to see her go. Fortunately, we still get to see Sonia. She still works in our neighborhood and cares for our friends' children. Without knowing you, I think you will be thrilled with Sonia. She is a very caring and responsible woman. Your child will be in good hands!”

“Where do we start, Sonia has been and still is a part of our family for over 8 years. We were the original employers and hired her over 90 other applicants for the position of Caregiver /Nanny in 2003 from the Nanny Agency in Columbia. As a partner of a medical business and my husband traveling often, we were very particular about the Nanny we wanted for our child, and Sonia measured up to every expectation and more. Sonia is an exceptional caregiver; she will provide you with exceptional kindness, respect and professionalism. Her love for my child grew as if Sonia carried her on her own for nine months, it was truly priceless. Many of our colleagues, friends, and mothers from school would approach me and comment on Sonia's care giving skills and how impressed they were of her as a Nanny. She multi-tasks and took direction well, working with two different families with two different agendas and lifestyles seemed seamless to her. With regret, we could no longer use Sonia for the hours she need, Alexis started Kindergarten full-time. Sonia stayed in our development with the family we shared her with and to this day remain very close. In taking care of a young child and sick mother we still needed help with nights and weekends with our child, so we discovered Au Pair of America and hired a live-in Au Pair. Our experience was not as pleasurable as it was with Sonia, the maturity, experience, and attitude did not even compare with what we had in a well-seasoned Nanny as Sonia. Sonia has a great ability and instinct with infants, toddlers and children! You will be very pleased once you chose her as your nanny!”

“Sonia is a very good person and she has been the first person I would call outside of our immediate family for any extended or last minute childcare needs! I have known Sonia for approximately seven years. In those seven years, I have seen her in action in numerous capacities in our community. She is our neighbor, an active member of the PTA and has taken on leadership rolls in other civic and non-profit organizations in our community. I chose Amy to care for my son when I went back to work because I had talked to other parents in the neighborhood and everybody I talked to only have good things to say about her! My freelance work schedule was sporadic. Sometimes I needed Sonia to watch Emmett for only a few days (for a few hours) and other times I needed her to care for him daily for several months. Amy was always accommodating to my fluctuating schedule. Emmett was happy to be with her and I knew that he was going to be safe and have a good time in her care whether there were other children there or not. Sonia’s background in education was a plus! I could see that she understood children and had a sincere interest in knowing each child she cared for. Beyond that, she was always respectful to my requests regarding naptime routines and meals. She often provided Emmett with a healthy lunch and snacks. I have to also mention here that he never left her house with a full diaper or a dirty face. Sonia is a caring person with an easy laugh, but she is no pushover. She sets good boundaries and has found a great balance because she also knows how to have fun. As you can see, I could keep on going about what a solid person Sonia is! Throughout these years she has proved to be a valuable resource to me from the Nanny Agency in Columbia!”

“Sonia was everything we could have asked for in a child care provider from the Nanny Agency in Columbia! The difficult task of leaving our first born to go to work was made easier knowing that he was in Sonia’s care. She was empathetic and caring, and worked hard to meet the needs of both parents and child! She went out of her way to provide detailed information on the day’s happenings, and to inform us of our son’s activities. We feel she did more than offer care; she provided an enriched environment, doing projects, taking walks and visiting museums, libraries and parks. She was also able to provide special medical attention to our son who suffers from asthma. She monitored his breathing, and administered nebulizer treatments if needed. We were so pleased with Sonia’s care giving, that when our daughter was born, we did not hesitate to ask Amy to care for her! She fulfilled our childcare expectations! She was reliable, and accommodating to fluctuations in our needs and schedules. She was an experienced mother who was happy to provide care, and to share her knowledge with us!”
