With over 12 years of experience as a nanny, babysitter, and childcare professional, I am passionate about working with children and supporting their growth. I have also worked as a head preschool teacher and at an elementary school, giving me a well-rounded approach to childcare. I have a BS in Early Childhood Education and Elementary Education. I am very hands on and love to keep children engaged with creative activities, crafts, books, and games. I always bring along extra ideas and activities to suit each child’s age and interests. I am patient, dependable, and genuinely enjoy building strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents. When I’m not caregiving I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling all over the world, playing tennis, and curling up to read a good book.

My wife and I feel incredibly lucky to have had Emily as part of our family for over a year. She cared for our two children (that are now ages 3 & 5) with so much warmth, sense of fun, genuine enthusiasm, and professionalism. She was always punctual, extremely reliable, and quick to respond, which gave us peace of mind. What truly set her apart was how hands-on she was with our kids. She regularly came prepared with thoughtful activities like crafts, games, toys, and books. She put so much effort into to making each day fun and enriching. She wasn’t a person to just supervised, she got down on the floor and played with them, stayed active, and built a real connection with our children. Our kids absolutely adored her and we clearly see how much she cared for them. Any family would be lucky to have her, we would recommend her without hesitation.

I’m 22 years old and have been working in childcare since I was 16. Before that, I used to babysit my siblings and the younger children of some close family friends. I’ve worked with children of all ages, but I’m currently a lead teacher for the 2-year-old room at my center. I’m CPR and first aid certified, have completed the mandatory reporter training, and universal precautions training. I can assist with potty training, diaper changes, sleep strategies, and meal preparation. I enjoy planning and preparing age-appropriate crafts and activities to keep the children engaged when the weather permits us from going outside and burn off energy. From a young age, I’ve always wanted to work with young children and contribute to their learning and development.

Hello my name is Destiny. I am 19 years old and I have had 4 years of experience in child care.I am a compassionate, loving, go with the flow woman who adores children, yet can be firm at times if required. I enjoy bringing my love of art, dance, outdoors, healthy foods, Steiner style learning and exploration to children.

I love the opportunity to get messy, loud and energetic with children… and we clean up afterward, knowing that we had a good, full day.
