Hello! My name is Destiny and I have been a babysitter/nanny for 7 years now. I have a spotless background history, I have experience caring for special needs children, and I have personal/professional references upon request. I am summer camp counselor as well. I am trained and certified in CPR, First Aid, AED care, Epinephrine Pen Care, Seizure and Diabetic care. I am a Senior in High School and I graduate in May.I will be a college freshman this fall, but I will still be in the area and attending school part time. I have been an honors student my whole life, I am in the National Music Honor Society and a full time Nurse's Assistant at my high school. I am also a National Merit Scholar and received one of the highest ACT scores in the state of Illinois. I am on Orchestra Committee and am the Conductors Assistant. Read more I am capable of providing additional music lessons and or tutoring, if interested. I have my drivers license and have never received any traffic violations or tickets,and I have my own car. I love kids, I believe they are the greatest gift anyone can receive. I think that children are such an inspiration and can teach us adults things without even realizing it. I love spending time with children and make it clear that I am not the 'babysitter' but a new member of the family, or a Big Sister. I take it to heart that each child is different and have different personalities. I have personal experience with children as I come from a very large Italian family with 2 brothers, 2 sisters, and plenty of cousins. I am the oldest so I carry plenty of responsibility. That being said,I always put my job first. I make sure I come prepared to work and have a fun (but productive) day ahead. I am always tidy and organized, and make sure I am on time to work each day. I embrace the happiness of children and their enthusiasm to learn. I would like to thank you for your time and I appreciate you wanting to get to know me! I look forward to being in contact with you and getting to know your wonderful family! :) Thank you, Destiny
