A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Mekymbria (Kym preferably) and I have been in the childcare field for about 3 years.
I started off in a school age setting where I worked with elementary students falling behind in their curriculum. Eventually, I transitioned to a daycare setting where I worked with the most amazing toddlers for 2 years! I loved working with the kids there and desired to learn more about ALL kids. I currently have my RBT certification and I am in school working to become a BCBA as helping children on the spectrum is something I am extremely passionate about.

A little bit about me

Hello I’m a very energetic person and I’m a big kid at heart! ( I think that’s why I get along with children so well) I would like to think I’m responsible dependable. I was a nanny for a couple for 7 years and it’s time for me to move on sadly😞 it’s the worst part of the job cause when I take on a family I’m very dedicated to that family and their needs. I graduated high school in 2013 and was pregnant and I found my calling through my child. I didn’t realize how much I was going to love being mother that’s when I decided I wanted to help others with their beautiful journey.
