A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Candace, a warm, nurturing, and dependable professional nanny with over 25 years of childcare experience caring for children from infancy through the teenage years. Childcare has always come naturally to me, and I truly love becoming a trusted and supportive part of a family’s life.

I’m patient, organized, active, and very hands-on. I enjoy creating fun and age-appropriate activities, getting children outdoors, encouraging creativity and independence, preparing healthy meals, and maintaining consistent routines and a calm, loving environment. I believe in gentle but clear boundaries, positive reinforcement, and helping children feel safe, heard, and confident.

I’m also highly adaptable and understand that every family operates differently. I value open communication, mutual respect, reliability, and working together with parents as a team. I’m comfortable managing busy schedules, household and child-related tasks, travel, overnights, and changing needs as children grow.

A little bit about me

Hello!
I am a 29 year old nanny looking for a job in Studio City come December. I was a live in nanny in Manhattan for 4 years to 3 wonderful children starting at ages 4months, 2 and 5. I was also a babysitter in LA for 5 years for two children starting at the ages of 2 & 6. I absolutely adored all of families I've worked for & I am looking for a family who I can build a similar relationship with. I am looking for something long term. My average day as a nanny consist of preparing meals for kids, cleaning up after kid (willing to do all things cleaning that are for kid), taking them to local parks, going on walks and playing interactive games with them. In my free time I love to paint so I come with tons of art/hands on projects on deck. I am also available for the occasional weekend. I am currently in Michigan and am moving to LA in December. Fully vaxxed & willing to answer any questions you have :)

A little bit about me

I’m originally from Sonoma County and recently relocated to Los Angeles. I grew up as the oldest of six, so stepping into leadership roles has always come naturally to me. I have over five years of experience in childcare and household support, and I’m known for being grounded, dependable, emotionally intelligent, and highly adaptable within busy homes.

My background combines childcare, wellness, and organization. I’m CPR/First Aid certified, a Certified Nutritionist, California TrustLine registered, and have certification in Early Childhood Development. I genuinely value creating environments where children feel safe, supported, engaged, and able to thrive emotionally and developmentally.

Outside of work, I love cooking, baking, wellness, psychology, beach days, picnics, travel, and creating healthy, balanced routines. I naturally bring calm energy, structure, warmth, and professionalism into the homes I work in while still being very interactive, fun, and hands-on with children.

How to Find a Babysitter in Los Angeles, CA

Nanny Lane is a child care website meant to help you find a babysitter in your area. Our child care services include background checks, a dedicated hiring agent, and payroll.

Understand Babysitter Responsibilities in Los Angeles, CA

Before beginning the search for a babysitter, it’s important to understand what you’re looking for and if a babysitter is the right choice for your child care needs. There are lots of benefits to hiring a babysitter such as getting the flexibility of having some more time for yourself or with your partner. When hiring a babysitter, first, you should explore the differences between a nanny and a babysitter. If you’re looking for occasional child care, babysitters are the right choice for you, but if you’re looking for more frequent care, a nanny may be better for your needs.

From there, you can think about what you expect your babysitter to handle so that you can create a profile for nannies to reach out to you. The boundaries for babysitters’ duties can vary from family to family. However, in general, a babysitter is responsible for making sure your kids’ needs are met, including things like ensuring they have opportunities to play and be active. When tasks go beyond child care, for example to housekeeping, laundry, or meal preparation, it’s good practice to communicate these expectations with your babysitter before hiring them. Along with the different duties that you ask for, experience and location in Los Angeles can impact how much you pay your babysitter.

Los Angeles Babysitter Interviews

Once you start connecting with prospective babysitters, the next step is to conduct an interview. To make things a bit easier, here’s a list of some babysitter interview questions to consider asking:

  • Do you have experience being a babysitter?
  • What sort of household tasks are you open and comfortable doing?
  • Do you have any references?
  • Are you trained in First Aid or CPR in California?
  • Do you have a California driver’s license? Do you own a car?
  • How do you handle tantrums? Can you share an experience disciplining children?

During the hiring process, it’s essential to ask for references and by asking their references questions you gain a better understanding of they will fit in your family. As you get closer to hiring a nanny, be sure to run a background check to ensure your kids are in good hands. When evaluating a babysitter that you’re considering hiring, make sure you’re setting the foundation for a good relationship with your babysitter. You can do this by being clear about your expectations around babysitter responsibilities and compensation, and of course, by being friendly and welcoming!

And of course, as you learn how to hire a babysitter, Nanny Lane's nanny services are here to help you along the way.
