About Opal Mya

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

Hi! My name is Opal. I am a loving child care professional with over 25 years of experience. I have worked as a substitute teacher in the school system, worked in daycare centers, family child care homes, as well as an in-home nanny for so many great families. I provide the type of care that I would want for my children, and that they deserve. I give them encouragement and guidance as they discover the wonderful world around them. I completed training to become a registered behavioral technician (RBT), have an Early Childhood Education Associate, an Associate in Arts, Child Care Credentials 1 & 2, a Basic Child Care Certificate, an Infant & Toddler Certificate, a Child Care Administration Certificate, CPR and first aid, SIDS training, a TB shot, physical examination, and recent background check. I am also a certified Massage Therapist. I provide a portfolio documenting my experience, education, training and references. I would greatly appreciate an opportunity to meet your family!

Opal is professional, classy and has a true passion for her work. She was prepared to provide information regarding her education and previous work history upon introduction. Opal is gentle, kind and truly enjoys children. You can see all of this from the moment you meet her. My son is 2.5 years old, I felt like he took to her instantly. He told us all about their evening together and continued to talk about her after she left. She brought things to my attention I would of never thought to share with a sitter who was not familiar with my home. Asking, where fire extinguishers, emergency contact info and first-aid kits were located and if my son had allergies, specific details regarding his naps/bedtime and time and more. I have only good to say about Opal. She is amazing!
