Hello! My name is Chandra or Chan Miss Chandra or Miss Chan. Caring for children isn’t just my job, it’s truly my passion. I’ve been a paraprofessional for 7 years and have spent my career supporting and nurturing children in both classroom and home settings. I worked as a 4K teacher assistant for 4 years, where I helped create a safe, engaging, and positive learning environment for young learners. I also helped run my church summer camp for 3 years, planning activities, supervising groups, and making sure every child felt included and cared for. In addition to working with many wonderful families as a babysitter, I’ve also helped raise my younger brother and my nephew — experiences that have shaped my patience, compassion, and understanding. Children hold a very special place in my heart, and I would be honored to be part of your child’s world, supporting their growth, celebrating their milestones, and providing dependable, loving care every step of the way.

I take pride in creating a safe, structured, and loving environment where children can thrive.

We both worked different venues that required childcare professionals to oversee their children while at the events.

I’ve been a nanny for 8 years, during which I’ve had the privilege of caring for children of all ages and abilities, including those with special needs. My background in healthcare, having studied at Carolina College of Health Sciences, has given me a deeper understanding of children’s health and well-being. I’ve also worked in a pharmacy, which enhanced my attention to detail, responsibility, and ability to manage care routines effectively. Throughout my nanny career, I’ve been committed to providing exceptional care, ensuring that children feel safe, supported, and stimulated. I engage children in educational activities, including early language skills like teaching Spanish, reading, and sensory play. I also enjoy planning outdoor outings and ensuring they have a balanced daily routine with meals, naps, and interactive play. My experience working with diverse families and special needs children has allowed me to develop patience, empathy, and strong communication skills. These qualities, combined with my medical background, make me a compassionate and capable caregiver.
