I grew up in a deaf household and identify as CODA - Children of deaf adults. My mother was born deaf, therefore my first language was sign language. When I was four my mother received cochlear implant surgery and was able to hear. I still vividly remember her flushing the toilets purposely for a week just to hear the sound. Life began anew as I started talking more than signing to help my mother with speech. This lifelong journey -still to this day is what created my passion to help others. I explored different areas of what I wanted to do- I went to school in North Carolina for my interpreting degree, I then started my journey on becoming a special education teacher. I got my degree in Early childhood development and started working in daycare centers, home centers, headstart and nannied. I still felt that it wasn't enough. I then became an assistant instructor at a school specialized for kids with learning disabilities. I loved it ! I loved seeing the progress of my students' work and knew this is what I wanted to do. I knew I wanted to make a difference in children's lives- specifically  those with disabilities such as my mother.  Challenging but rewarding work! I then did a career change and became an aba therapist. In which I still practice currently, however I'm ready for the next step in my life. I am opening up my skills, love and knowledge to children in the way I believe they should receive!


Business Review

"Great experience with Miya for a night time outing. Both of my kids woke up through the night and she was able to console them back to sleep! Even let me know through text every step of the way. Absolutely pleased with her! 10/10 experience first time having my children with a baby sitter."
