Hi! My name is Candace and I have 2 beautiful children of my own who are 11 and 9 years old. I have always loved children, even when I was a young one myself; I took my first babysitter and CPR course as soon as I was of the minimum age and would babysit for numerous families in my neighborhood. I have precious work history as a childcare worker at a local fitness center, daycare worker, camp counselor, lifeguard, child protective services worker, youth leader, substitute teacher, and a special needs care provider. I love nature and outdoors, crafts, reading books, physical activity, cooking, and baking. For 15 years I was the owner of a highly successful wedding cake business. I love to teach my children (and others!) how to bake and cook and would love to provide the same opportunity to your children! I am patient, gentle, nurturing, encouraging, Read more respectful and responsible. I am organized and dependable. I love to be silly but also understand the need for structure and consistency. I am a believer which means I love Jesus, my local church, and our community. I serve in our youth program as a middle school girls youth leader. I am married to my high school sweetheart and we have 3 little loves: our 2 precious children, and our fur baby who we rescued when she was just 4 weeks old. Thank you for taking the time to get to know me. I hope to chat with you soon!
