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 has been wonderful with my children. It took her no time at all to learn the best care management for my little ones who have different needs. It warms my heart to see how easily they've grown to love her. I can leave my children in Opal's care and know that they will be well taken care of. I highly recommend her.
