Hello there! My name is Jacey and I am a New Orleans native! I am currently a sophomore at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette majoring in nursing.

Booked by 8 families in Chalmette, LA

Hey, I'm Destiny, 28 years young and armed with 4-5 years of experience in the trenches of daycare centers. My most recent adventure was at the Jewish Community Center summer camp (2026). What makes me a great caregiver, you ask? Well, I'm all ears, and I don't mind lending a hand with light housework and pet care. Looking forward to speaking with you soon.

“Destiny was so great with our twin four year olds and had perfect instincts for how to keep them engaged, how to distract them when we were leaving, and how to make them feel safe in a new city with a new caretaker. I would highly recommend her!”

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
