About Charlene

Hello families! My name is Charlene, and working with children is my passion. As a mother of two, I started volunteering at my children's preschools, and continued volunteering throughout their time in grade school. This is where my passion for working with children began. I'm warm-hearted, energetic, fun and patient. I enjoy spending my time exploring nature, hiking and arts/crafts. These are some activities that I enjoy doing with the children that I work with. Initially, I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Communications. However, I wanted to further my knowledge in working with children. I went back to school to obtain a Teacher's Certificate in Early Childhood Education. I now have over 18 years of experience working with and caring for children ranging from ages 2 through grade school, as well as experience working with children with special needs. Previously, I was a teacher, but I became a nanny in 2022 in order to work more closely with families. Contact me with any questions.
