A little bit about me

Hi there! I’m a full-time college student studying education and have always loved spending time with kids. I helped care for my younger brothers and cousins growing up, so I’m very comfortable keeping little ones busy, happy, and safe. I’m patient, reliable, and organized, and I can also help with homework, transportation, and meal prep. I really enjoy creating a fun, supportive environment where kids can learn and feel cared for.

A little bit about me

Hello! I’m Destiny, and I am 21 years of age. I am an energetic sitter with a genuine passion for caring for kids. While I am new to professional child care, I have experience babysitting my cousins, and my friend’s twin girls. I have my own transportation. I’m excited to provide engaging and fun activities and helping with after school meals and homework. I will pick up any messes made and I can even read them a story to help them to sleep if needed. I am excited to bring a positive attitude and ready to create a fun, supportive and loving environment while gaining valuable experience and supporting your family’s needs. I currently work at five below in Hattiesburg, and wanted to give professional babysitting a go considering it being close to my near future plans of going to school for ultrasound tech. I aspire to be a great mother and tech one day.
