A little bit about me

Hi there, my name is Candace. I am a full time experienced nanny who has been nannying for over 10 years. I have my bachelors degree in Psychology. I consider myself an extremely patient, caring, and creative nanny/babysitter. I believe in making daily things special and fun for children while also maintaining a safe environment at all times. While caring for the children, I also find it important to pay attention to household cleanliness and needs. I have traveled with families before out of state, and I also can work overnights occasionally when needed. I consider myself a good team player. I have no problem helping out extra when needed. I love to make a positive impact in children’s lives 🩷 I also have experience working in a school setting as an instructional aide/after school supervisor.

Thank you for taking the time to read my profile, and I would love to hear from you if you find me a good fit for your family. 😊

More About Me

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

any kind of art/crafts, building forts to read books in, trips to the park, picnics, baking healthy snacks like muffins to enjoy during the week, using our imaginations to play pirates and mermaids, walks outside to get fresh air with a stroller or with scooters or bikes.. I’m a big kid at heart who enjoys all fun things!

The most important part about being a nanny...

Is being a safe place for the children I care for. Knowing they can have the best time learning and playing while also feeling safe at all times. Making simple daily things fun for a child is important. I have so many cherished memories from my childhood so I know how valuable it is to make each day special 🩷

The most important part about being a nanny...

All the morning greetings with smiles and excitement until the hugs goodbye until next time 🩷

Babysitter Available in Laguna Niguel, CA: Leslie P.

I am a 16 year old girl who can speak both fluent in Spanish and English ! I am a very positive person who loves to keep up an energetic energy. I truly adore children and working around them, especially when in comes to teaching them how to read , write , and draw , that’s my favorite thing to do ! Although I have no experience in ‘working in childcare’ , I have cared for many of my small cousins , baby brother , and even small children who would find me in playgrounds wanting to play. I can guarantee that I’ll know what to do , and I love doing it. I don’t charge much , since I have no ‘real’ job experience. $16.50 an hour is completely okay for me , as long as I get more experience and chances to prove myself , I will be just fine ! I can work all summer since I have no upcoming events besides my birthday , and once school starts , I can work Friday through Sunday . Friday: 4pm , Saturday: 8am , Sunday: 8am . I hope you can trust me to care for your baby/child !!

Full-Time Nanny Available in Laguna Niguel, CA: Mari L.

Hi Families,
I’m a nurturing, experienced, and responsible nanny with a deep love for children. I’ve helped raise seven nieces and nephews and have extensive experience with infants, including sleep training. Since moving to California, I’ve had more time to dedicate to what I love most—caring for children with affection, patience, and creativity.

As an artist, I enjoy sharing arts and crafts, and I love engaging kids in creative activities, playtime, and outdoor fun. I’m also a big animal lover.

My priority is always to make parents feel at ease, knowing their children are in safe, loving, and capable hands. My goal is to earn your trust and confidence through reliable, attentive care.

I focus on tidying up after children and organizing their activities (please note: I do not offer general housekeeping).
My usual minimum rate is $25/hour.
Dog walking with your child(ren) can be arranged for a small additional fee for pet care.
