Rainbow Child Care

5.0

Denise has been watching my 2 year old son for a few months, and he never wants to leave! I love that she asks questions about what I want him to learn more of, be more comfortable with, eat more of, etc. Her flexibility is amazing and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for care!

This was a huge blessing for our family. Not only is it affordable, but we've learned so much with our 3 yr old from the other parents.
