A little bit about me
I have lived in 8 states, and have acquired an extensive magnitude of information and knowledge through my travels. The majority of my skills and training derive from over 15 years in hospitality, and management fields, however I have plenty of experience caring for children since the age of 13. My educational background is in biology, however I have taken extra course on child development and psychology. I appreciate new experiences and culture, a positive environment, and the quest for knowledge. Most importantly, I hope to provide stability and support to your family.

A little bit about me
My name is Amya! I graduated from Appalachian State University in 2025 with a B.S. in Psychology. Ever since I can remember, I have had a passion for taking care of children. I spent a large portion of my 4 years in college focusing on child development, behavioral health, and educational psychology. My passion in each of these subjects lead me to 3 years of teaching preschoolers and toddlers in Boone, NC. After graduation, my focus toward behavioral health and education lead me to my work as a registered behavior technician, where I worked directly with children with Autism to promote emotional wellbeing, functional communication, and appropriate replacements for maladaptive behaviors, all through play therapy! This fall, I will be looking at online programs for a Masters in School Psychology, and would love to hone my focus in child development and education to a family needing help!

A little bit about me
Hi everyone!
I’m posting to gauge interest in a program I’ve been dreaming up and developing over the years!
To launch Naturalist in Training, I’m hoping to start small with a nanny-share arrangement for children around 2 years old (open to other ages).
My background includes conservation biology, environmental education, early childhood education, Reggio Emilia-inspired learning, nature-based education, and free play. My goal is to create an environment where little ones can explore, follow their curiosity, learn through play, and build a connection with the natural world.
A little about me:
- I have a B.S. in Fisheries, Wildlife and Conservation Biology from NC State University.
- I’m one class away from completing my Early Childhood Education Certification.
- I’m working toward completing my NC Environmental Education Certification this year.
- I’m CPR certified!
I’d love to connect with families who might be interested!

A little bit about me
Hi my name is Kimani. Working with children is something I genuinely enjoy because I love being part of the little moments that help them learn, grow, and become more confident. I’m a warm, patient, and dependable person who enjoys creating a safe and positive environment where children feel comfortable being themselves.
I have experience working with children in an ABA setting, supporting communication, learning, social skills, daily routines, and independence. This experience has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each child’s individual needs.
I also have over four years of customer service experience, which has helped me develop strong communication, time-management, and problem-solving skills. I would love to bring my caring personality and childcare experience into a nanny role and be someone both children and parents can trust.
