Hello! My name is Candi. I'm a 27-year-old with a passion for childcare and an adventurous spirit. With a BA in Child Development and eight years of experience as a nanny, I've dedicated myself to nurturing children's imaginations. In addition to my role as a nanny, I'm also a professional mermaid and party entertainer with Sheroes Entertainment. This unique combination allows me to bring creativity and joy into children's lives while ensuring their safety and well-being. Safety is paramount in my work. As a certified lifeguard with yearly CPR, First Aid, and AED renewals for infants and children, I prioritize preparedness in any situation. I'm also trained in crisis management and hold certifications in scuba and free diving. My experience extends to working with children of all temperaments and abilities, including those with special needs. Pets are welcomed in my care—I adore animals and have experience caring for a variety Read more of furry (and not-so-furry) friends. Keeping up with children's interests is essential to me. Whether it's the latest books, or games, I make it a priority to engage with each child on their level. As a theater enthusiast, I bring a flair for improvisation and creativity to our time together, ensuring it's filled with laughter and fun. From indoor crafts to outdoor adventures, I tailor activities to each child's age, interests, and parental preferences. Positive reinforcement is key in my approach, and I'm always on the lookout for moments to celebrate and encourage. As an advanced Japanese language student, I'm eager to incorporate education into our activities. Whether it's introducing Japanese vocabulary or conversing in Japanese, I strive to make learning a part of our everyday adventures. I excel in group settings and thrive on entertaining large groups of children. I can't wait to bring my energy and enthusiasm to your family and create unforgettable memories together! I look forward to speaking with you soon!
