About Ms. Tyasya
Hello! My name is Ms. Tyasya Nelson, and I have been caring for children for over four years. My journey in childcare began by caring for children within my family and later expanded into working as a nanny. Through these experiences, I discovered how much I enjoy supporting children as they learn, grow, and develop.
My love and passion for teaching were inspired by the wonderful teachers I had growing up. Their impact on my life helped shape my desire to become an educator and create those same positive experiences for the children in my care.
I would describe myself as enthusiastic, caring, and passionate. I believe every child deserves to feel loved, encouraged, and supported while they explore the world around them. I enjoy building meaningful relationships with children and creating an environment where they feel comfortable being themselves.

About Ms. Mary
Hello! My name is Ms. Mary Inabinet, and I have a genuine love for working with children and helping them learn, grow, and discover just how much they are capable of. One of my favorite parts of being an early childhood educator is watching a child accomplish something independently and seeing the pride and excitement on their face.
I have over three years of experience working with children, including experience with children ages three to six in both after-school and full-day programs. I have also gained valuable classroom experience in early childhood and elementary school settings.
I have earned my Associate Degree in Early Care and Education. My own experiences as a child who needed additional support have given me a unique perspective and a special appreciation for children with different learning and developmental needs. These experiences have helped me develop patience, understanding, and a desire to recognize and support the individual strengths of every child.
I am also trained in CPR and First Aid and have completed Darkness to Light training.
I am excited to continue growing as an early childhood educator at C.A.R.E. Academy and look forward to helping each child feel safe, supported, confident, and proud of their accomplishments.
