Henry Denver
$21 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Henry and I have been taking care of my sister and my pets since I was 10 years old! My parents often traveled for work which led to me being the one they relied on! I have taken care of my neighbors family many times and I find the time I spend with them very rewarding! I do modeling part time and have worked customer service since I was 15! I find that as long as you take the time to understand who you are working with, there is always a logical solution to whatever problem arises! I always like to discuss with family what they are use to and what they respond best to! This helps me determine the best course of action when It comes to caring for their loved ones!
