A little bit about me

Hi I’m Oona! I love working with kids, I’m the oldest of 4 girls so I have a lot of experience. I’m able to help out with whatever is needed. I’m a college student and I have a very flexible schedule. I’ve taken classes on safety and CPR, but I’m not certified yet. I also love dogs and am willing to take care of pets. I can do light housekeeping like helping with laundry and dishes. I’m very passionate about healthy food and love to cook/bake. Let me know what I can do to help, I want to make parents’ lives easier!
