A little bit about me

My name is Destiny. I’m currently 19 years old and will be turning 20 this August. Growing up in a large family, I was always surrounded by my cousins, and I’ve spent years looking after them on many different occasions. This experience has given me a natural comfort and patience with children. I’m a big fan of reading, drawing, and Disney movies, and I love sharing those interests with kids to keep them engaged and having fun.

A little bit about me

Hello friends! I am Jatziri currently a college student majoring in DMS (OBGYN ultrasound) I grew up in a big house hold with my own brother having autism and 5 of my nieces and nephews also having autism or Down syndrome and ADHD included. My whole life I’ve learned to be super patient and loving with them. Recently my mom needed a little helping because she takes care of all them herself, I started taking them to school, going to parks, doing homework, cooking fun meals and etc. I am now doing caregiver for a little boy of autism who I love so much! I want to help out those mommies who want rest, want to have fun, or even need a break. I love creating new memories with my little besties.
