Misty Straughn- Owner Hi My name is Misty! I started Mistys Angels 6 years ago as an in home daycare, in May 2017 I decided to expand my daycare and move into a facility I could call my own. Before I started my daycare I worked with children and adults with disabilities for 3years shortly after I worked as an Certified Nursing Assistant and a Med-Aid in nursing homes all over Nebraska for about 15 years, but I knew my true love and passion was for children and making a place that was a home away from home for them.

Adrianna Morris- Head 1’s Teacher My name Adrianna I've been in child care for about 5 years now. I first started working in highschool with special needs children and made my way to daycare and babysitting!
Amurica Knight- Assistant 1’s teacher My name is Amurica but I like to be called Hope. This is my first year working at a daycare! It has been a joy to call Misty's Angels my place of work. As we expand our curriculum to better challenge our 1's, 2's and Preschool classes we are still implementing the idea that playing is learning. I adore that we here at Misty's Angels are including learning even in the in the infant room. I am proud to be apart of Misty's team.
Roshelle Carter- Head 2's Teacher (Mornings) Hello... My name is Roshelle Carter. I am currently a van driver for mornings nd evenings and also a head teacher in the 2's room at Misty's Angels. I have been working in childcare since 2005 and meanwhile, I received my CNA and Medication aid. I've worked with many children, special needs and resource.

Daequan Oliver- Head 2’s Teacher (Evenings) My name is Daequan I have been working with children for 6 years at Misty's in home daycare, A lot of parents know me from the in home daycare already but for the new ones, let me tell you a little about myself. As I said I have been working in childcare for 6 years going on 7 this may, I have been CPR certified for 2 years now, I am a well rounded teacher at Misty's Angels meaning I have informed myself on all procedures and learning material for every room but the room I enjoy the most is the 2's room. I love the fact that my job is to ready these kids for the preschool room by transitioning from learning while playing to a slightly more structured curriculum! I love working here at Misty's Angels and I cant wait to see the new advances we will be making in the near future.
Joyce Murph-Assistant 2's Teacher (Evenings) Hey everyone I'm Joyce let me tell you about myself, I've been working in Childcare for about 1 1/2 years it will be 2 years in May. I am a mother of 2 and my children attend Misty's Angels and I wouldn't want it any other way. What I love most about my job is the hands on learning aspect of it. I believe the 2's room is not only about telling them the kids what we are learning but showing them and being hands on in our learning so we can better grasp the concept.
Mikayla Johnson- Head Preschool Teacher Hello everyone and welcome to the Misty's Angels Website, I am so glad you stopped by! My name is Mikayla and I have been working with kids since I was 8 years old. I started by helping my Aunt Misty, as you all may know, take care of my younger brothers. Since then she has went from no daycare just baby sitting to an in home daycare to her beautiful Child care facility! I have been so privileged to be there with my aunt while she worked and continues to work on her dreams! I officially became an assistant teacher 6 years ago at her in home daycare, working with a wide variety of age groups and today I am the Head teacher of the preschool class! I have taken a broad array of classes that has showed me how to better teach and how the kids can teach me new things as well! I am so excited for parents to see what we are doing in the preschool room, all the different things we are learning and the amount of fun we are having while doing it. Make sure to frequently check in on the website for updates on what we are doing in class!
Crystal Washington- Assistant Preschool Teacher Hello my name is Crystal, I started my child care journey when I was 11 years old helping my own mother with her in home daycare, loving and teaching kids came natural to me.

Hello my name is Jason Gardener I've been cooking in restaurants for 10 years, I joined the Misty's Angels team in March of 2018 as their head cook. I have taken so much joy in providing the kids here at Misty's angels with adequate meals so they have energy to run, play and learn all day. My absolute favorite meal to cook for the kids is spaghetti! I love teaching the kids about what should be on their plates at every meal and hearing their feed back on the meals I cook for them.
