About Destiny

Experience: 4 yrs

Hi, I'm Destiny! I'm a full-time elementary school teacher with a passion for helping children learn, grow, and build confidence. I have experience caring for children of different ages and abilities, including supporting children with diverse learning needs. Families describe me as patient, dependable, organized, and caring. I believe every child deserves a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where they feel valued and encouraged. Whether we're reading books, doing arts and crafts, playing outdoors, helping with homework, or following a bedtime routine, I always aim to make our time together engaging and positive. I understand how important it is for parents to trust the person caring for their children. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care while giving families peace of mind. I look forward to getting to know your family and supporting your child's growth every step of the way!

Attentive, communicative, kind! Destiny babysat my 2 sons, (4 yo & 8yo) numerous times . My sons are energetic; and as they have different ages, their different interest can be a lot to handle. Destiny transitioned into our home seamlessly, paying close attention to both children. Encouraging off-screen engagement, and holding a firm hand to my 8 year old when he tried to get some pre-dinner cookies 😂 Overall, she’s timely, mannerly, comfortable with different ages groups, and very respectful to our space. Even when making dinner for the boys she cleans up after herself (including anything left in the sink - never required but always appreciated). She’s very respectful of the space and communicative (timely updates, notifications when they’re going outside, when she’s gotten them down for bed, etc. If more of my friends had younger children she’d be fully booked!! I totally recommend her to anyone looking for additional help.
