Her television career began in 2003 at the Dutch music channel TMF, after she successfully auditioned there to become a presenter. Subsequently, she hosted shows such as *Fox Kids* and appeared in the beach-themed soap opera *Costa!*. She also conducted interviews with international artists, including Kylie Minogue and Britney Spears. In Germany, Sylvie Meis became best known for her appearances in various RTL programs.

In 2010, she competed on *Let’s Dance* herself, finishing in second place.
