Hi families! I have been caring for children for over 11 years, with 6 years of professional childcare experience and 4 years as a full-time nanny. I’ve had the joy of working with little ones as young as 6 weeks all the way up to 12 years, including time as a lead teacher in infant, toddler, and pre-K classrooms. I also have experience supporting children with autism and light ABA training. I’m CPR certified, registered in the state background registry, and always committed to keeping kids safe, happy, and engaged. I love creating and following routines that help children feel secure, whether it’s nap schedules, playtime, or homework help. My approach is inspired by Montessori and Reggio Emilia, encouraging independence, creativity, and learning through exploration. I also believe in the importance of healthy nutrition, and I’m happy to prepare meals, keep the home tidy, and help with family laundry to Read more make your day run more smoothly. Most of all, I want your child to feel loved and supported while you’re away, and for you to feel complete peace of mind knowing they’re in safe and caring hands.

To Whom It May Concern, Candy spent a year with our family during a significant period of transition. At the time, my ex-husband and I were going through a divorce and separation, and our three children were very young. While I was in the process of relocating to Florida with the children, they remained with their father. During this time, Candy provided invaluable support to our family. She cared for our children with consistency and compassion, ensuring their needs were met in every way. Her responsibilities included preparing meals, performing light household tasks, assisting with homework, establishing bedtime routines, and managing both school drop-offs and pick-ups. Candy’s presence helped provide stability and comfort for our children during a very challenging time. Candy is a trustworthy, reliable, and professional individual who approaches her work with kindness and integrity. I am confident she will be a valuable asset to any family, and I recommend her without hesitation. Sincerely, Carla Gaona
