The Story Behind Nurny
As a veteran behavioral instructor, Kayla noticed that many families were sacrificing careers, personal goals, self-care and time to ensure that their children received appropriate quantities of in-home therapy. Furthermore, families who were able to find substitute care found themselves struggling to find quality care providers who not only understood the needs of their child, but would also follow through with teaching procedures families were using to increase their child’s communication, social and behavioral repertoires. In an effort to remedy these two dilemmas, the thought of a “nurturing nanny” or Nurny was born.
Who we are
“With Nurny, your child will receive nurturing and compassionate childcare with education and independence in mind.”

All staff are familiar with positive behavior supports to firmly and compassionately respond to challenging behaviors if needed. They can also assist with the maintenance and generalization of skills learned so that they become a natural part of your child’s repertoire.
