Candace $25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Candace and I’m offering child care and household services. I am an energetic, responsible, and experienced childcare professional with a passion for creating fun, engaging, and memorable experiences for children of all ages. My background includes working with children in educational, recreational, and entertainment settings, allowing me to build strong connections while fostering creativity, confidence, and learning. As a performer with Disney Cruise Line, I had the opportunity to inspire and entertain children daily through music, storytelling, and dance. I also worked as a dance instructor teaching children ages 6 months to 8 years old, helping them develop coordination, self-expression, and confidence in a positive and encouraging environment. In addition, I have held multiple after-school teaching positions where I worked with children ranging from preschool age through middle school, supporting their growth through educational and enrichment activities. I also owned and operated a princess party company, where I spent weekends creating magical experiences for children while ensuring every event was safe, interactive, and engaging. My experience has taught me how to connect with children of different ages and personalities, maintain a safe and nurturing environment, and keep kids entertained through creative activities, games, crafts, music, and imaginative play. I am reliable, patient, and dedicated to making every child feel valued, supported, and excited to learn and have fun. I also have a passion for dogs and raised my goldendoodle in the city since he was 10 weeks old. I have experience dog walking and dog sitting!

Caring for and supporting children throughout their development is something I truly enjoy. I have five years of experience working with children from newborns to 11 years old, always bringing patience, creativity, and a positive attitude to every moment we share. I have a university education and feel comfortable caring for up to two children at a time. I enjoy keeping parents informed with daily reports on their children's activities and progress. I also know how to enforce household rules with a firm yet loving and respectful approach. I enjoy playing outdoors, sharing board games, and educational activities. Additionally, as a Spanish speaker, I can introduce children to a new language in a natural and fun way, broadening their cultural and communication horizons. I am excited for the opportunity to contribute my experience, dedication, and joy to caring for your family.

I am Cornelia , an experienced nanny with great references! I have had the opportunity to care for kids from newborns to school age for the past 16 years, and it has been a pleasure. My skills has sharpened as the years went by, and it has taught me a lot about myself.
