My name is Destiny, I am 28 and a preschool teacher. Friends and family describe me as energetic, positive and quite "smiley." I have been around kids since I was one myself. I have never fallen out of love working with the younger generation. I'm looking for a job that gives me an opportunity to help kids engage in play, enjoy their youth and be encouraged. I find it a joy being around kids and young people! I am a family girl and I enjoy time with the people closest to me. Music is my heartbeat and I am almost always singing a tune or thinking of one. As the weather warms up I find any opportunity I can to enjoy the outdoors.
Destiny cares for our 3 yr old son whenever we need a few hours out for a date or have a meeting and she is one of our TOP choices for care. Our boy is sweet and funny but he still needs snuggles/held to nap, is a bit delayed in speech & development, and is still practicing flexibility & patience. Destiny combines empathy and kindness with practicality and experience to provide compassionate care for our boy. She is professional, on time, patient, knowledgeable, and friendly. She holds boundaries and accountability that we want for our boy as he’s learning how to communicate better and regulate his emotions. Destiny is trustworthy and prioritizes safety over everything else. She communicates as much as you want and is clear and concise - she even checks in with questions if she’s not sure how to proceed with next steps on a decision (ie. Lunch/snack options) . Destiny works magic sometimes too- she leaves your home tidier than when she started - even with a toddler! She’s also a great listener and can offer sound advice when in a tough spot with parenting a strong willed child. Destiny is truly a gem of a human and will have your child requesting her by name to come and play, even if you didn’t have plans to get a sitter! Even my 5 month old already adores her! She can handle any age, ability, or disposition and is truly our first choice for care for our babies.
