Booked by 1 family in Berkeley, IL
Hi ! - My name is Destiny , I’m currently not working as I stay home with my baby boy who is 2yrs old! I have 3 younger brothers who I have taken care of at one point in time. I started expanding to babysitting some of my coworkers, friends and family’s children. I have taken care of kids of all ages within my church as well. I love to go out with the kids on beautiful days and on those not so beautiful days I love connect with the child to create a bond over any of my many hobbies such as dancing, reading, sketching , and etc. I also am open and eager to be expanding to house and senior care!
