Candice enjoys seeing the children she works with develop over her time spent with them as one of the Long Island Nannies!

"I love being a nanny because I can see the different stages of a child’s devolvement on a daily basis and that really makes me happy. If I was asked to describe in one sentence the reason I have chosen to be in the Nanny profession over any other it would have to be because I simply love children. I have been serving in some form of childcare experience for over 10 years and can honestly say that I love what I do! I feel the children need to be cared for and loved by the right people. My goal as a Nanny is to be a mentor to young children and to help stimulate them academically and help keep them active. I am willing to do housekeeping and am happy to help with whatever is needed. If I had to describe myself in five adjectives I would say that I am honest, hardworking, reliable, loving, and caring. Activities that I would like to incorporate in the daily plan for the family I care for would include the park, play dates, music, arts and crafts, and whatever physical activities that child enjoys. If asked to describe the perfect family seeking a Nanny like me I would hope they would be very good, kind hearted, friendly and understanding parents."

"Candice was terrific! She is very responsible and the children loved her. We were all very happy with her. Candice became a trusted member of our family. She was very dependable and great with the children. She took them to the park, the library and had play dates for them whenever possible. She treated my children as if they were her own. I highly recommend her as one of the best Long Island Nannies."

"Candice is always on time, rarely takes days off, and always abides by the rules we set forth for our daughter (nap times, eating times, no tv, etc.). She has unlimited patience with my daughter, who can be difficult at times. My daughter loves her dearly. My husband and I feel very lucky to have found Candice. She has been a tremendous help to us in raising our daughter. We have become very close and communicate very well. She is loving, caring and kind and my daughter adores her. We could not have asked for a better person to help raise our child!"

"I am thrilled to recommend Candice as the ideal nanny; I find it hard to believe that there could be a better one out there anywhere in the world! Candice was hired to be the nanny for my five-month old twin sons. She stayed with my family for three years until the boys were 3 years old. During that period, I never had a problem or a fight with Candice. She exhibited the following traits that made her a superior nanny and human being: very reliable, never missed a day of work. She was 100% honest. Candice was respectful of my family's possessions. She brought her own lunch every day and had to be prevailed upon to accept food from us. Candice was hard-working. When the boys napped, Candice asked me for work to do. I soon hired her to do housework as well as child care. She was a superb housekeeper. Now we get to the really important qualities. Candice was gentle, patient, and loving with my children. During the three years that she worked for us, I never heard her raise her voice or lose her patience with my boys. She was always smiling; she always spoke in a soft, soothing voice to them. She carried them around in her arms all the time. She took them for walks in the stroller; she played with them, sat on the floor with them, helped them to walk and eat, fed them, cleaned them, bathed them, and appealed to them on their own level. I give Candice a great deal of credit for the fact that my children never went through a "terrible two's" period. While she was with us, they never argued or fought. They rarely cried. They smiled and were happy all the time. As much as she clearly loved my children and they loved her back, Candice never made me feel supplanted in my children's affection (a new mother's worry). She never tried to make me feel that she was better at caregiving or mothering than I was. Candice always deferred to me, which I appreciated. She was willing to accept my way of doing things with the boys and around the house. As a result, it was so easy and pleasant and fun to have her near me for hours on end. I adored and still adore Candice. I looked forward to coming home from work and seeing her as well as my children. We giggled together all the time and soon became friends. I've never found a nanny yet, almost five years later, who was as wonderful in as many ways as Candice. The family that gets Candice for a nanny is lucky indeed. She has now been a nanny for 8 years! And she has an 8 year-old son. I would imagine that today she is as good at handling older children as she was when she worked for me handling newborns, toddlers, and preschoolers.”"

"Candice is an incredible person and I highly recommend her as one of the best Long Island Nannies! She is dedicated, responsible, selfless, and loving. She absolutely adores children, and they love her just as much. She relates to them in an incredible way, and she is an excellent role model! Candice is a joyful person, a natural teacher, and she teaches both through words and example. Any children in her care will be safe, challenged, nurtured, and loved. I cannot recommend her enough."
