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!
