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.

We love Ms. Cadence! She has taken care of our youngest since he was 5 months as well as helping out with our two older sons when they are home from school. She has been fantastic and we would definitely recommend her! First, she is extremely patient and loving, treating our kids like they are her own. Our two oldest aren’t home a lot with her but when they are, they love hanging out with her and can’t wait to tell her how their school day went. She is constantly doing new activities with our youngest giving him a variety of exposure, whether it is going to the park, going to the library or doing an activity at home. We have Cadance to thank for our youngest achieving his milestones so quickly and speaking so well early on! You can tell how much she cares for our kids because she will often research milestones or activities on her off days and bring them to work the next week. Lastly, she does an amazing job of communicating throughout the day and will keep us updated through an app that logs sleep/food/activities – it’s so fun to see what our youngest is up to while we are at work. We couldn’t recommend Candace more!
