Denize
Hello! My name is Denize and I’ve worked with children for about 2 and a half years at Wonder Works Children’s Museum in Oak Park. In those 2 years I’ve played with children, helping them develop their motor and interaction skills, and created a safe space to use their imagination and creativity! I’ve also volunteered at my church in the daycare section!

I'm patient, energetic, and parents can feel confident knowing their little ones are in good hands!
