About Sonya

54 years old Speaks English
I've raised 7 children (5 boys & 2 girls) to adulthood (aged 18-30). I now have a 3yo granddaughter (born with spina bifida, so I'm familiar with changing her catheter) & a 7 month old grandson. I'm a fun mum and love doing crafts and hands on things to help the kids interact with more than just a computer screen. I ran annual events (bush dances, balls and games nights) for young adults for 9 years before Covid stopped it. I was the organiser of the games/challenges for all the events. I play the piano & sing, love sewing, cross stitch, jigsaw puzzles, animals, board games, books & natural health. I'm a volunteer fire fighter & also volunteer at the Jondaryan Woolshed with the shearing demos for tour groups. I was the Holiday Fun Time teacher at our church for the year 5&6 girls for 4 years until we left Dalby. I homeschooled 6 out of our 7 children at some stage of their schooling. I don't drink or smoke. I have my CPR and first aid certificates. I'm reliable, trustworthy & love working with children. I'm willing to travel around the Toowoomba area. I love meeting & chatting with people. I would welcome an interview.
