About Oona
Experience: 5 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
Hi, my name is Oona I have 5+ years working with children of all ages - infants to school aged children - and love exploring with them, and honoring all stages. In addition to family child care, I worked in a parent education preschool that focused on the importance of developmental stages, the value of play as learning, and teaching kids to be self-reliant in a fun way. I am communication-mediation certified and I am trained in positive discipline. I use these skills as part of my truly holistic and caring approach with children. In addition, I can help with meals, light house-cleaning, laundry, as well as other duties to help your home run smoothly. I love animals - they are often part of the family, not just pets. In summary: I am active, nurturing, responsible, creative, punctual, and always safe and caring. Kindly, Oona

Oona became a member of our family the moment she started taking care of our then 20 month old son. The level of care and attention she gave him was well beyond our expectations. Our toddler bonded with her immediately and we felt completely at ease with her being his nanny. She truly valued his growth and nurtured his cognitive, emotional, physical, and verbal development. She engaged in a wide variety of activities with him. She prepared delicious and healthy meals for him and was very thorough in cleaning. She was very attentive to details on his care and always prioritized his safety. She was especially observant of any health needs he may have had or changes in his behavior. Communication was a great strength of hers. She always thoroughly informed us how his day went. She checked in before the start of the week to anticipate his needs. We could not have asked for a better nanny. If our circumstances change, we would be absolutely re-hire her and be grateful to have her back.
