Meet Denise

  • Early Childhood Special Education Certification

Hello! My name is Denise, and I’m currently looking for babysitting opportunities in Waikiki. I work full time 8-4 M-F. I have my Master’s degree in Elementary Education and work at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. Other than my experience as a teacher I have been an Au Pair overseas, and a nanny here in the US. Your kids should have fun with their babysitter! I can bring age appropriate games, bake, play soccer, or have a movie night. I am also available for homework help. Let me know if you have any questions!

Denise was great. The sitter I had scheduled cancelled last minute and Denise stepped in with a couple of hours notice. I have a 15 month old and 6 years old and they both took to her very quickly. Highly recommend and will definitely book her again.

We have four kids, including a baby, and she handles it all wonderfully, even when our baby is being super fussy. She's really friendly, professional, confirms appointments beforehand, and has always showed up on time. The kids are super excited when she's coming to watch them, and they always talk about the fun they had when she was here. She watches our kids every other week and I would definitely recommend her as a sitter!
