         8 . The mobile device charging station of  claim 1 , further comprising a switch on the second side of the base. 
     
     
         9 . The mobile device charging station of  claim 8 , further comprising a nightlight, wherein the switch is operable to turn on and off the nightlight. 
     
     
         10 . The mobile device charging station of  claim 9 , wherein the nightlight comprises light-emitting diodes. 
     
     
         11 . A mobile device charging station, comprising:
 a base having a front end, a rear end, a first side, and a second side;   a watch station located at the rear end of the base;   a privacy screen projecting upward from the front end of the base; and   a USB output on the first side of the base,   wherein the mobile device charging station is configured to charge a mobile device placed on the base between the privacy screen and the watch station;   wherein the watch station is operable to charge a wearable device; and   wherein the USB output is operable to provide power for charging additional devices.   
     
     
         12 . The mobile device charging station of  claim 10 , wherein the privacy screen is dimensioned to conceal a view consisting of a side of the mobile device. 
     
     
         13 . The mobile device charging station of  claim 10 , wherein the privacy screen comprises an inductive charging circuity operable to charge the mobile device when the mobile device is placed on the base between the privacy screen and the watch station. 
     
     
         14 . The mobile device charging station of  claim 10 , further comprising an input port on the rear end of the base, wherein the input port is operable as a power source connector. 
     
     
         15 . The mobile device charging station of  claim 14 , wherein the input port comprises a Lightning port or a micro USB port.
