Hi, my name is Mya. I'm a CDA certified bilingual nanny with over 5 years of experience working with infants, toddlers, and young children. My approach is very hands-on, engaging, and Montessori inspired. I encourage independence, problem-solving, and emotional regulation. I naturally bring a big sister type of energy into childcare. I love joking around, staying active with the kids, and building genuine relationships with them, while still being consistent with boundaries, routines, and respect within the home. Something families tend to appreciate about me is that I'm not intimidated by strong personalities or difficult behaviors. I stay calm, consistent, and communicative, and I genuinely care about helping children grow into confident, respectful, and emotionally secure people. I also deeply respect each family's culture, religion, parenting style, and household values, and I always aim to support the environment parents are trying to create at home.
Mya cared for our two boys (ages 3 and 5) and overall we were pleased with the experience. Her Montessori-inspired approach was apparent in the way she engaged them — she brought her own educational tools and did a nice job balancing active play with developmental activities. She was reliable and consistent, and made a real effort to encourage independence in practical ways, like having the boys help with food preparations and getting themselves dressed. We also appreciated that she naturally incorporated elements of her Hispanic background into her time with them, which was a broadening experience for our kids. Her boundaries and routines were well-established, and she clearly cares about helping children grow into confident, respectful kids. We would recommend Mya to other families.
