Hi! I'm Destiny! I've been babysitting and nannying for 11 years and have experience with overnights, full-time and part-time care, traveling, nanny pods, occasional babysitting, and watching over multiples (twins/ triplets) :) I have experience caring for all ages, from newborns to 15 years old, with the majority of my experience focused on newborns through 6-year-olds. This past year, I worked as a long-term Kindergarten substitute, and I'm currently working toward my teaching credential and Master's in Education. I enjoy working with children and getting to know their little personalities while building genuine, trusting connections. I'm patient, attentive, reliable, and responsible, while still being energetic and engaging. I love spending time outdoors, doing crafts, visiting museums, going on bike rides, and creating opportunities for kids to learn, have fun and just be kids. There’s no better feeling than hearing “you’re the best babysitter ever.” Looking forward to connecting with your family!

Destiny was excellent—great communicator and my kids loved her!

AVAILABLE FOR BACKUP CARE TRUSTLINE REGISTERED Not too long ago it was a tradition for an extended family member to step in as a caregiver for working parents. Now, there are many families who have moved to a new city for a career without a family member nearby. I specialize in taking loving care of children in my role as caregiver. I strive to prepare healthy kid-friendly meals and snacks for children. And I make use of other sites to find activities for little learners. I can keep your child engaged with reading books aloud and other fun and educational activities. I am very resourceful and patient with a sense of humor! For the past couple of years, I have worked as a nanny in share, and with one child alone. Those parents are very willing to be a reference for me. And I had a very successful run in Washington DC with many families from the region. Maybe I have cared for your family or friends in DC; I have more than 400 bookings there. I really look forward to working with your family!

Hi Parents! Its a pleasure to meet you. You will find I have a large gap in my reviews because I have been working with a family long term the past 2 years and have been mainly hired by repeat families (Would be happy to offer that reference.) I am now available for new families! I'm a writer-actress recently moved to LA from NYC! (Hence the mainly NYC reviews) I received my BS in Advertising and Marketing Communications from FIT, minoring in English. In my spare time I enjoy writing poetry, reading, films, playing volleyball, working out and just being active. I'm a lover of nature as well as a lover of laughter :) I grew up taking care of kids/ being around kids all the time because of my very fertile family haha . I knew how to change a diaper since I was about 10 years old and as I got older I was one of the go to for watching my little cousins who ranged from newborns to 12 years. I have experience with all ages and get along great with kids. I'm patient, understanding and educated. I have done pick ups after school, traveled home to work on homework, prepared a snack/cook dinner and fun time if there was time left after. I have experience with overnight/vacation sitting where I was the main caretaker and very comfortable with it. I've taken children to parks, museums and played with them. I know how to change diapers, do bath time, put to sleep and keep everyone happy :) I also do light cleaning if necessary and I am red cross cpr certified and have first aid training. Cancellation policy- same day/ last minute cancellation requires the full booking amount to be paid. I tend to have a lot of inquiries and and when you book in advance I am fully committed to you. I turn down any other offers that i receive! I understand things come up however, this is my main source of income and i take it very seriously! The time i scheduled for you is very important to me as it should be for you :) **For bookings ending at or beyond 9pm travel home would be required!

Kimberley is fantastic, she was able to help us last minute whilst we are visiting LA, and our daughter quickly felt comfortable with her. Would definitely recommend her to other parents.

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
