A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Destiny! I bring 12 years of family-based childcare experience gained through helping raise and care for my nieces and nephew from infancy through their school-age years. Over the years, I’ve developed strong childcare skills, a calm and nurturing approach, and a natural ability to connect with children. I truly enjoy creating an environment where kids feel safe, supported, and encouraged to learn and explore. Whether it’s playtime, routines, homework help, or simply providing a comforting presence, I take pride in offering reliable, patient, and attentive care for children of all ages. I look forward to being a trusted part of your family’s support system.

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Chloe I recently moved from Staunton Virginia after graduating with a BA in theater, a minor in education, as well as a minor in musical theater. I have a strong passion of the outdoors, animals of all kinds, any sort of arts project, singing, reading, cooking, piano playing, and any form of theater.

Over the past 10 years I have taught multiple classes for ages 3-74 through different community, youth, and educational programs. During the past 5 years I have work in closer environments with a range of different children including those with special needs. I'm very fond of Montessori teaching and development techniques. I believe empathy, imagination, and honesty are key! :)
