A little bit about me

My name is Meya, and I’m a dedicated and experienced childcare provider with over 25 years of hands-on experience working with children of all ages. I’m a licensed childcare provider and hold certifications in CPR, First Aid, and early childhood education, including my 90-hour certification.

I’ve worked in daycare centers, home daycare settings, and provided personalized babysitting for families, so I’m comfortable adapting to different needs and routines. I also have experience supporting children with separation anxiety and autism, and I always approach each child with patience, understanding, and care.

As a mother myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. I take pride in creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children can learn, grow, and feel comfortable being themselves.

I look forward to connecting with families and becoming someone you can rely on!
