Meet Candace

I have 18 plus years experience in the childcare area. I have been a mothers helper, babysitter, camp counselor, and a part-time, live-in, and full-time nanny for a few families from 2007-present. I have been happily married for 7 years now and a mother to a wonderful almost 4 year old boy. PLEASE NOTE: I am expecting my second baby come October and will be on maternity leave until January. I will be looking for a possible new position after leave, and one I will want to bring along my baby as well. Other than being a mother, I am crafty, energetic, creative, responsible, caring, have a sense of humor, and nurturing to name a few. In my spare time I love spending time with my family whether that involves being outdoors, museums, libraries, family movie nights, and traveling to see other family members and friends. I love going on Read more Pinterest and scrolling through many snack, meal, crafts, and DIY projects. Besides being in the childcare industry, I am also an Interior Designer and do small freelance projects from time to time. I have my BFA in Interior Design from Pratt Institute located in NYC where I graduated in 2009. Being a nanny for a handful of families and for different age groups, I have gained knowledge in fundamental and appropriate milestones and development stages, and utilize them effectively along with the support of the parents. I am all about being on a team along with the parents, and making sure we are always on the same page. I find it important to connect and establish not only a wonderful connection with the kids, but with the family as a whole. I tend to be very organized within my profession but with the maximum amount of fun, love, laughter, and care. Now being a parent myself, I am able to relate in many more ways to the families I work for.
