Candace K.

Hi there! My name is Candace. I am a career nanny with over 18 years experience and absolutely love taking care of children. I am currently looking for a new opportunity with an amazing family. I love being part of the parenting team and getting to know and love an entire family. I have cared for various families with unique backgrounds including all ages. I have worked for single parents, au-paired in other countries, worked with special needs kids and was also a live-in nanny at one point. I have also volunteered working at my churches, children's ministry and worked with the Make A Wish Foundation in Orlando Florida. I have worked in a variety of locations including Canada, Ohio, Delaware, Florida, California, Texas and all over in the Caribbean islands and Mexico both on and off shore on large boats. I still keep in touch with the families I have worked for as they all hold a special place with me and I with them. I value continuing my education in the nanny profession. I attend nanny conferences (yes there is such thing), am up to date on CPR/First-Aid, etc.
I love organizing play dates, educational trips, craft days, etc. I am a very active nanny. I like to attend events, parks, play places, beaches, museums, children's story-time, etc.
I am looking for a family who would consider me to be part of the family. I love bonding with my nanny kids and parents and as much as I am a part of their life, they are apart of mine. Children bring such joy in my life and I love documenting our days... whether its sending you pictures, updating you on how our day is going, etc. I have many hobbies which include, photography, baking/cooking-although I am not a gourmet chef , traveling, etc. I am also big on volunteering and very passionate about ending the mental health stigma and advocating create awareness for this cause, especially in our own backyard.
The needs of the children always come first but I am open to having other responsibilities if needed. I have been responsible for grocery shopping, ordering all needs for the household (or otherwise requested needs), making all home and family member related appointments and scheduling, planning parties, tutoring, and any other need that may arise while I am working to help your household and family be a stress free place of joy as possible.
I am willing to sign a confidentiality agreement. Your family must be willing to work with a nanny agreement and agree to guaranteed hours. I am looking for a position where parents can trust that I will have everything fully taken care of. I would love to have a position where I can have the freedom to make decisions, schedule/plan exciting days (obviously with the consent of the parents), and be the best nanny I can be for your children. I am really looking forward to hearing from you and hope that we are a right fit for each other. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I typically charge anywhere 25-30+ per hour but prefer to work as a salary employee so that hours never keep me from completely finishing any aspect of the day that may not be completed when my scheduled hours come to an end. I am currently living in Massachusetts but I love to travel with my families both short and long term and would happily relocate for the right family. I am looking forward to hearing from you very soon and I wish you all the luck in your search for the perfect fit!!
