About Candace

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I raised my own children, my son (33) and my daughter (23). Over the past 20 years, I have served as a toddler teacher, and home-daycare provider, and served 4 different families as a nanny for the last decade. I also have experience working with people with special needs. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I enjoy working with children and providing a safe place to be nurtured in their emotional, physical, and mental development. I believe investing time and love into children's lives is one of the most important responsibilities. I communicate with families by providing daily reports of our activities, such as milestones, and sleeping and eating schedules. I would describe myself as reliable, proactive, engaging, resourceful, honest, and nurturing. While serving as a nanny, I also have experience in light housekeeping (laundry, dishes, dusting, meal prep, transportation, and errands) I would be honored to be considered for the opportunity to serve your family.

Candace was the nanny for our 3 year old son from 6/21-9/21. She was wonderful with him. Great outings: libraries, parks, zoos, pumpkin farm, etc. She kept our active boy engaged and busy. Besides taking him to fun places, Candace is a great educator for his age. She taught him letters, numbers, shapes, beginning writing skills, scissor cutting skills, etc. Overall, Candace was more than we could have asked for. She communicated well with me and sent me pictures through the day of their adventures. We would have gladly kept her as his nanny for years to come. Any family would be lucky to have her.
