Experienced, Nurturing Childcare Provider with a Love for Nature, Art, and Learning Hi! I'm a reliable and loving caregiver with decades of experience working with children of all ages. I'm a part time nature preschool instructor and former Waldorf-certified kindergarten teacher who brings creativity, patience, and joy to every child's day. I care for babies with attentiveness, intuition, and gentleness, and I create enriching experiences for older children through singing, reading, puppet shows, nature walks, silly dancing, sensory play, and hands-on art. My approach is gentle, imaginative, and rooted in a deep interest of the developing child. I'm currently looking for part-time or supplementary caregiving opportunities. I'm available during the day and some evenings. Comfortable with dogs in the home, too! Let's connect to see how I can support your family
Carlene was amazing with my 10 month daughter! She was reliable, professional, and always punctual! We really appreciated her help during our family wedding, and would gladly recommend her to others!
