Experience: 10 yrs
I have over 35 years experience with caring for children from the newborn through the teenage years. Being able to interact with the kids while they learn and grow daily, allows me to love my work. Enhancing their well being is always my main focusI I am blessed with three beautiful children myself; ages, 23, 31, and 34, I have been equally blessed with my beautiful grandchildren 12yrs, 11yrs, 10 yrs, 7 yrs 5 yrs and 2 yrs old.
We had the pleasure of having Charlene care for our baby, first as our night nanny for seven weeks beginning when our baby was six weeks old, and later as an occasional daytime babysitter. She was dependable, caring, and incredibly experienced with infants. During those early weeks, she gave us complete peace of mind. We were able to trust her completely and get the rest we needed, knowing our baby was safe, well cared for, and in loving hands. She is knowledgeable, patient, calm, and attentive to our baby's needs while always respecting our parenting preferences. She is an excellent communicator, punctual, organized, and conscientious about cleanliness and hygiene. We were consistently impressed by her professionalism, warmth, and dedication. We wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy, experienced, and compassionate caregiver.
