A little bit about me

I’m Penny! I’ve taken care of my much younger sister since her birth so I have experience with all ages of children. I love reading and encouraging kind play time. I’m a very experienced cook and can make any diet work (picky eaters included (;). Cleaning is no problem as long as I have time to focus on your child as well! I totally understand parents just need some help and that’s what I’m here for. Thanks!

I am fluent in Spanish and English and would love to help teach your little one.I love to make kids feel safe and I am very outgoing. I care a lot for everyone I come across to, I would rather have something happen to me than anyone else in my care.I have 1 year of experience with my family members (nieces mostly). I can help with Light Housekeeping and Cooking/Meal Preparation. I can help with homework, and if pets are included in the house, I can do anything to help with that. The schedule planned out is what I will follow. I have classes Tuesdays and Thursday 9:00AM-3:30PM, I would like those days to be off, however, if help is needed, I would never decline going after my classes. I am a first year University student, we are not allowed to have cars. Yet, I do have access to the bus so that would be my transportation but I have always been punctual.
