About Destinie

Working at the SUNY Potsdam Child Care Center as the Lead School-Age Teacher showed me how much I truly love this work. I've cared for children from 6 months to 10 years old, but the school-age group helped me find my passion. I still think about the meaningful conversations I had with some of them-like a 10-year-old opening up about social issues. Moments like that made me realize how much children teach us when we really listen. Now, as a Lead Teacher at Bunnyhill Daycare & Preschool, I work with toddlers every day, creating play-based, Reggio-inspired activities and making sure the classroom feels safe, loving, and consistent. I'm patient, nurturing, and very hands-on. I always meet children where they are and help them grow in a way that feels natural and supportive. Caring for kids has never felt like "just a job" to me-it's something I genuinely love.
