With over 15 years of experience, I am dedicated to creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for children to grow and thrive. My background includes roles as a mental health counselor, after-school teacher, and nanny for two families over the span of 8 years. I continue to work with one family, providing overnight care when the parent travels. I hold a degree in Psychology with a focus on child development, equipping me with a deep understanding of children's emotional and cognitive needs. I am flexible, patient, and a great listener, skilled in problem-solving and fostering positive relationships. I am currently a full- time Realtor with a passion for childcare. I am available to fill in for full-time nannies when they are sick or on vacation, willing to care for sick children when parents can't take time off work, and babysitting for date nights.

Charlene is amazing! She's able to jump in with the kids and is very attentive and caring. We had her babysit our son for a week when we needed coverage and she was reliable and kept him on schedule. She was interested in him and getting to know what he liked to do and instantly figured out his favorite activities and songs. She's great!
