Great experience. My boys, aged 9 and 11, found Sonia fun and engaging. She helped with homework, prepared pizza, played games and enforced the house rules on screen time. Very easy going.

Sonia is absolutely awesome with the kids. She arrived well before time to make sure the kids are comfortable with her before we were ready to leave. The kids really liked her company and had a blast playing, doing activities and reading with her. We were completely relaxed as we left for the evening knowing there is someone with a lot of experience to watch the kids. Will definitely avail her services when in need.

Nav M .       August 2019

Sonia was great with our 5 year old and toddler! Our toddler had a little trouble and she sang with him until he calmed down. Both kids really liked her and were sound asleep when we came home.

Dani T .       December 2018

Arrived on time, settled in with kids very quickly and the kids had nothing but lovely feedback the next morning - and that's really all that matters to us : )
Thanks Fiona!

Loren C .       October 2018

Sonia was amazing as always taking care of our almost 2 year old energetic son. Our son loves her! Thank you Sonia.

David M .       October 2018

Sonia was fantastic. Couldn't have asked for anyone better. Will definitely hope to have her as babysitter again.

Kylie S .       September 2018

I was VERY nervous about someone i don't know looking after my 3 year old boy (Jesiah), as it has always been my father, Jesiah's dad, his Godmother or my sister babysitting him and quite rarely too as i don't go out much at all, mostly if a special occasion arises.

This was for an event i flew down from Darwin to Sydney to attend as a contestant (Miss National Australia 2018), my family where attending so i found Sonia on here based on her reviews and skills recorded and am so happy i chose her.
Sonia went straight to Jesiah to make sure he was happy and comfortable and try to build rapport with him (she succeeded) and played with him and was able to successfully put him to sleep (another thing i was worried about due to me being the one always lying down him to put him to sleep) but again Sonia succeeded.

I feel impressed and very satisfied! I will definitely use Sonia again when i am next down in Sydney and in need of a professional babysitter.

Thanks again Sonia :)

Loren C .       August 2018

Sonia was fantastic with my 19month old son as always. Many thanks Sonia!

Maxx M .       August 2018

I would recommend Sonia, she was easy to get along with and had no problems with the kids. The kids took to her very quickly with her calm manner. The kids liked her and was a hassle free night for all involved.

Katie G .       August 2018

Sonia was a punctual, true professional and we immediately felt at ease leaving her to look after our 4 1/2 yr old. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again! Thank you Sonia :)

Gevan M .       August 2018

Giselle R .       May 2018

Sonia is a lovely lady. I didn't have much time to talk to her as I had to get to work, but my boys loved her and had a fun time. Sonia prepared meals for them when they were hungry, and my boys seemed bright and brilliant when I got home. I'm very happy with this experience (it was my first time with a complete stranger looking after my kids!) but Sonia's credentials and reviews are 100% accurate, and I am going to hire her again.

Loren C .       April 2018

Sonia was wonderful looking after our 15month old son whilst we were out for the evening. Highly recommended!

Paul T .       May 2018

Isaac loves Sonia- when she arrived he was happy to see her after only one other evening of care. Sonia got Isaac to sleep and well fed. I got home to a happy and excited boy. Sonia is reliable, professional and has a real affinity with children. An experienced mother and professional carer. You can’t ask for more.

Paul T .       May 2018

Sonia arrived 15 minutes early and was professional and polite. My son took an instant like to her and was relaxed and happy. I was very happy leaving him in Sonia’s experienced and confident hands. He was asleep and happy when I got home (a Triumph in itself!). Very experienced and lovely- I don’t want to recommend her too much as we would like to book her all the time!!

Laurie R .       April 2018

Absolutely wonderful. Took such great care of our little man and will definitely book again in future. Thanks Sonia!

Charlene C .       April 2018

Sonia was such a lovely lady. She arrived early and made an effort to know my son and I before I left. Most importantly, Sonia was super patient and flexible with the change in duration of the final babysitting hours (even in early hours of the morning), as I extended the time I was out for. Thank you so much Sonia!!!

Rita E .       April 2018

We appreciate Sonia coming to our rescue at the last minute! She was prompt and professional. My little guy connected with her right away. We will definitely consider her for our future bookings. Highly recommended!

Tracy L .       April 2018

Sonia made us feel very comfortable as soon as we met her. She looked after our little man beautifully. Thanks Sonia.

Michelle S .       March 2018

Thank you Sonia for giving a couple of tired parents a date night! We're so thankful for you minding our little ones. We know just how difficult that would've been and you handled it so well and without complaint. Thanks again!

Kat E .       March 2018

Sonia was perfectly on time. She was very approachable and professional.
My 18 month old son warmed to her straight away.
Everything went really well and Mason was very happy when we got home.
Sonia was wonderful and we would definitely book her again!

Pipè V .       March 2018

We were very happy with Sonia.

Sonia was amazing with our 8 month old son. We hired her to stay in hotel room while we went to a concert, she was there early and communicated with us before the booking, would hire her again!

Gabrielle B .       February 2018

Sonia is a wonderful carer. She is very professional and we knew that we were leaving our daughter in great hands. Thank you!

Sonia was available at the last minute, thank you. She arrived on time, with activities for the kids! Would happily book her again when next in Sydney.

Kim B .       December 2016

Sonia made my husband and I feel so comfortable about going out for the night and not watching the clock. We will definitely ask Sonia to babysit again.

Lisa S .       December 2016

Very happy with Sonia, my usually very shy toddler took to her right away. Definitely recommended.

David S .       December 2016

We were delighted with Sonia and will definitely call upon her again in future. Sonia is experienced. She is calm and has been around to see all the different scenarios that can occur when looking after children. I highly recommend Sonia to anyone who would like a carer that actually cares about the child's wellbeing. Sonia stayed after her job voluntarily to give us new parents advice and answer the questions we had with our newborn.
