Hi! I'm Candice!I'm 43 and a mom of three daughters (ages 12-16). I've always loved working with kids- I studied child development, and have over 18 years experience in childcare. I've taught pre-K for 6 years, was an assistant educational director for a private preschool and as of recent, have worked as a teaching assistant in my local school district for over 5 years. Now that my girls are older, I'm looking to get back to working more closely with little ones again. I really enjoy helping them learn, grow, and just have fun, and I understand how important those early years are. Would love to chat more and see if I'd be a good fit for your family!
