BO in nearly 9 year old. Is puberty near?

Ok, so I am totally unprepared. My eldest is 9 next week and for the past few weeks has been sweating I think under arms. It'd definitely a new thing. She is fairly petite for her age and pretty skinny so I thought it would probably take her longer to reach puberty for some reason.
I think she is unaware, at least she hasn't mentioned it.
How do I approach it and should she start using deodorant or just bath/shower every day.
Does this mean others signs will come on soon?
Sorry, though I work with teenagers, I have no idea about my own! haha
