Hi! My name is Mya, and I have over 7 years of childcare experience working with children from newborns to 13 years old. I currently work as an Early Education Teacher and Behavioral Technician in a school setting, supporting children ages 0-5 while also working with children who have behavioral and developmental needs. I am passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive.I have extensive experience with newborns, infants, toddlers, school-aged children, and twins. One of my most rewarding experiences was caring for a newborn from just 3 weeks old through age 2, where I gained hands-on experience with feeding challenges, tongue-tie care, and specialized infant needs. I love building long-term relationships with families and becoming a trusted part of a child’s development.Certifications & Qualifications* CPR Certified * First Aid Certified * Registered Behavioral Technician (RBT) * Child Development Associate (CDA) * 150+ Hours of Florida DCF Training * Child Abuse & Neglect Reporting Certification * Health, Safety & Nutrition Certification * Special Needs Appropriate Practices Certification * Behavioral Observation & Screening Certification * Child Growth & Development Certification * Child Care Facility Rules & Regulations CertificationExperience* 7+ Years of Childcare Experience * Newborn & Infant Care Specialist * Twin Experience * Early Childhood Education Experience (Ages 0-5) * Behavioral Support Experience * Experience with Children with Special Needs * School Readiness & Educational Activities * Potty Training Support * Sleep & Routine Management * Bottle Feeding & Infant Care * Homework Assistance * Transportation Assistance * Meal Preparation * Light Housekeeping Related to Children * Pet FriendlyEducation* Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree with plans to continue toward a Master’s Degree in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA).

I started working in children first as a volunteer preschool teacher in Gainesville. From volunteering, I grew a passion for teaching and working with children. I went on to work at preschools and become a nanny at Twinkle Toes in 2020 at the Gainesville Branch!
