The areas I serve in San Francisco
My territory covers all of the East Bay here in Northern California. It stretches from the Oakland area, down to Hayward. As far east as Pleasanton, up north to Napa, down through Richmond and everything in the middle.
My name is Deniese Garner and I am the Local Area Representative for the San Francisco East bay area. I have been working with Go Au Pair for more than twelve years and love what I do. Currently living in the East Bay Area, I am a music teacher during the week. I teach vocal music at a local elementary school in Walnut Creek, Ca. Married, I have a teenage son who keeps me quite busy the rest of the time. My hobbies include Tahitian dance and writing and I am a commercial model.
Being a LAR has given me the opportunity to meet different people of all different walks of life from different backgrounds. Being a people person, it allows me to interact with families who are looking to be a positive example of our American culture. Over the years, our cluster has done a lot of fun things together such as wine tasting, a 5k run, karaoke and welcome parties.
