Experience: 10 yrs
For the past 15 years, I have been dedicated to providing exceptional care for children across various age groups, from infants to teenagers. My experience includes both in-home care and professional childcare settings, where I've nurtured a safe, supportive, and stimulating environment for children to grow and thrive. I have a strong understanding of child development, which allows me to tailor activities and care routines to suit different needs. My approach is rooted in empathy, patience, and a commitment to fostering positive relationships, not only with the children but also with their families. I am skilled in managing daily schedules, from meals and naps to educational activities and playtime, ensuring a balanced and enriching experience. Additionally, I am trained in first aid and CPR, with a strong focus on safety and well-being. Over the years, I've built lasting bonds with the families I've worked with, becoming a trusted and reliable presence in their children's lives.

I cannot say enough positive things about our experience with Destinee. She has been an absolute blessing to our family, embodying qualities that every parent hopes for in someone caring for their children. She has been caring for our son for the past 2 years, since he was 8 months old. From the moment Destinee joined our household, her calm and soothing demeanor instantly put us at ease. She approaches every situation with a level-headedness that is truly hard to replicate. Whether it's handling fussiness or comforting a sick child, her ability to remain composed and compassionate is a testament to her exceptional caregiving skills. Beyond her calm presence, Destinee shows compassion in everything she does. She genuinely cares for our child as if they were her own, showing empathy and understanding in every interaction. Her nurturing nature creates a warm and loving environment where our child has thrived emotionally and socially. She even senses when we as parents may need some help and will always jump in to do little things she knows makes our days easier. Dependability is another one of Destinee's standout qualities. She is consistently punctual and reliable, ensuring that our daily routines run smoothly. We never worry about last-minute cancellations or schedule changes because she is incredibly organized and committed to her responsibilities. Destinee is also a lover of the outdoors and activities and takes our child out to playgrounds and the library almost every day. In addition to her professional attributes, Destinee has become an integral part of our family. We look forward to seeing her every day. She communicates openly and effectively, keeping us informed about our child's activities and milestones. Her sweet disposition and positive attitude have made her someone our child adores and looks forward to seeing every day. He jumps up and down and yells “Destinee” when he sees her arrive each morning. Destinee is one of a kind. Finding someone who is not only capable and competent but also kind-hearted and dependable is rare, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have her in our lives. I wholeheartedly recommend Destinee to any family seeking a nurturing caregiver who brings calmness, compassion, and reliability into their home.
