She started as my recruiter and placed me in the two best jobs of my career. What I didn’t know then was that I was also gaining a mentor and a wonderful friend. 🥹🤍

She saw what I could bring to the right family, encouraged me to aim higher, and has continued to cheer me on long after the placements were made. I’m so grateful for the doors she opened and, even more, for the friendship we’ve built along the way. ✨

The day my cat and I left Florida for California to begin a new chapter in my nanny career. 🥹✈️ The family sent a jet to Tampa to bring us both there, and I had no idea how much that opportunity would change my life.

Breaking into high-profile nannying takes more than experience. How you communicate, carry yourself, and respect a family’s privacy matters, too. That’s why I created The Polished Nanny Etiquette Guide; to share what I’ve learned with nannies ready to grow in their careers. 🤍

The woman behind The Polished Nanny. ✨

I’m Kandace Friend, an educator, career nanny and newborn care specialist with more than 25 years of experience supporting children and families.

I created The Polished Nanny to help professional nannies elevate their careers, navigate high-profile households with confidence and provide exceptional care rooted in child development, discretion and excellence.

Because being a nanny is more than a job, it’s a profession. 🤍

Compassion is essential, but exceptional special-needs care also requires preparation, thoughtful communication, and professional boundaries. 💜

I created The Polished Nanny: Special Needs Care in Luxury Households to help professional nannies support children with developmental, behavioral, sensory, and medical differences with confidence and dignity.

Inside the guide:

✨ Inclusive and respectful language
✨ Parent communication templates
✨ Emotional-regulation strategies
✨ Confidentiality and professional boundaries
✨ Real-life case studies
✨ Checklists and reflection tools

Every child deserves to feel understood, and every nanny deserves the tools to provide informed, inclusive care.

✨ There’s more to being a professional nanny than being great with children.

Discretion. Etiquette. Communication. Professionalism. Knowing how to navigate the unique expectations of private and high-profile households.

After more than 25 years in childcare and education, I created The Polished Nanny to share what I’ve learned along the way. 🤍

Polished, with a passport. 🎀✈️🌴

One of the things I love most about this career is where it can take you; both professionally and personally.

From caring for little ones in high-profile households to building a brand of my own, I’m learning that there’s room for excellence, adventure, and a life outside of work. 🤍

The most meaningful part of nannying isn’t what we do for children today—it’s the foundation we help build for who they’ll become tomorrow. 🤍

The small moments matter. The conversations, routines, encouragement, and consistency we provide become part of a child’s story long after we’re gone.
