About Candace

Experience: 20 yrs

Hello! My name is Candace . I'm a career early childhood educator with over 25 years of experience working with children 0-13. The majority of my professional career has been in group care, serving in many roles from Lead Teacher to Paraprofessional. I have a CDA (Child Development Associates) and have been trained in first aid/CPR. I'm a Spanish speaker and I have a music education background. I've spent so much time with so many children throughout my career and I've seen enough to know that the best outcomes come from a stable, consistent, and loving home environment. I'm inspired by the idea of supporting a family unit to maintain such a home. With the intuition of a mother and a homemaker, I can contribute a lifetimes worth of knowledge and skills in developmentally appropriate practices, techniques, songs, crafts, and experiences. I am well equipped. I appreciate your time and I thank you for your consideration. Warm regards, Candace

I have known Candace for 5 years now. She was the my daughters toddler and preschool teacher from age 1/12 to age 6. I cannot imagine a more caring and devoted person to her profession. Many of the staff I have run into at preschool programs are good but they don't go that extra step to make you know that your child is in good hands. Candace is that person. The children in her class had nothing but great things to say about her as well. When Candace was promoted to a preschool class from toddlers, there was a waiting list for students moving up to make sure they were in her class. That is the kind of devotion and caring that Candace inspires. You will not find a better person in the child care department.
