Kandace Friend

Professional Nanny and Certified Newborn Specialist

Thanks for stopping by!

Hi Families!! I’m a certified elementary school teacher and professional nanny. I attended Michigan State University, as well as Mercer University where I received a Master’s degree in Early Childhood Education. With over 25 years of professional experience, I have worked with children from birth to teenage years and am a professionally certified newborn specialist.

Certified Newborn Specialist

My qualification as a Newborn Specialist uniquely positions me for success as a nanny. Specialized training in newborn care, coupled with hands-on experience, enables me to offer expert care to infants. From sleep training to feeding, I bring a dedicated focus on the unique needs of newborns, ensuring a secure and nurturing environment.

Former Educator

My Master’s in Education uniquely equips me for success as a nanny, providing a deep understanding of child development, effective communication skills, and educational strategies. This background ensures a nurturing and enriching environment for children, fostering both their well-being and intellectual growth under my care.

Travel Nanny

Hiring a travel nanny ensures a stress-free family vacation. Experienced in childcare and certified for safety, I offer personalized attention, age-appropriate activities, and the flexibility to explore while your little ones are cared for. Enjoy peace of mind and quality family time using my expertise.

Kandace has been an absolute blessing to our family. Kandace has a gift when it comes to how she interacts with children. I have never felt more comfortable leave our previous girls with anyone like I do with Kandace. Our daughters adore Kandace and she is very intentional every time she interacts with our girls. She is attentive, kind, thoughtful, punctual and loving.

Kandace is the best…we couldn’t have been more blessed to have found her. She’s a true professional nanny and takes that responsibility seriously. She’s highly trustworthy, a great communicator, and brings such a positive, loving energy to each kid’s life. I would recommend Kandace many times over.

Kandace is a Godsend! I trust her 100% with my son. She gave AMAZING updates when he was an infant and now that he’s older, she is always very prompt with questions I may have on him (his behavior primarily, he is 2). She was a HUGE help whem my husband and I got a stomach bug, she kept him overnight till we recovered. She is always very professional. My son absolutely adores her, and so do we. I highly recommend Kandace!
