A little bit about me

Hello ! I’m Destiny! I am CPR&FIRST aid certified . I also have a business with my husband caring for the elderly so I have caretaking skills. I love children and I feel the Lord has given me a gift to nurture and raise children . I currently serve at my church , Transformation Church, on the ministry team . As well as with children . Ages 2-5 and at times grades K-3rd. I have been doing that for almost 2 years. I don’t have paid experience with babysitting but I do have experience with children . I’ve had to multitask in my rooms with the kiddos. At times I’ve had to manage 20 2-3 year olds at once . So as you can see I am up for a challenge! I’m willing to do a trial run NON PAID. Babysitting your child 1-2 times so you can examine me and make sure I’m someone you want. I am looking for occasional work . I work a full time job as a Pharmacy Technician , so I’m only available weekends and possibly during the week after work hours :)
