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. I was first introduced to babysitting at 14 years old helping out my family members and I fell I love with it! I started to babysit cousins, nieces and nephews when they were infants, and it was a joy watching them grow up in front of my eyes. I’ve also have experience in house sitting, as well as house cleaning (washing dishes, doing laundry, etc.) I can cook as well. I have also worked with CrossRoads LA and have experience in caring and supervising senior citizens during the day.

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!”
