About Dena

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I'm a single mom and my daughter is going into her senior year of high school next year. I have the availability and flexibility, and I'm available on weekend evenings for date nights and LAST MINUTE babysitting. I enjoy keeping the kids engaged in creative and educational activities. I also keep kids from birth up and engaged through music and dance. I'm also available to make prep/prepare a gourmet and nutritionally sound dinner that is ready for your children. If you need a dinner prepped for the family here and there I'm more than happy to. I've never met a child who didn't like my vegetables. I enjoy making all the baby's food fresh and I believe it keeps them open to trying different foods as they get older. They aren't afraid to try something new. Beware I create little foodies. My pay rate is $20hr. Thank you for your consideration.

Dena is a joy! I've known her personally for more than 25 years. Trustworthy, safety conscious, kind and honest. Attentive, engaged, energetic, creative and knows how to create a mentally stimulating and fun environment for kiddos of all ages. She's a great mother herself. Did I mention she's a gourmet level cook???? Bonus!!! You will love her!
