About Charlene

I'd describe my personality as silly, caring and outgoing. I like working with kids because it gives me the opportunity to foster a sense of independence, self sufficiency and confidence in a child that to me is very fulfilling. I'm looking for a job where I am comfortable being myself and I feel trusted in caring for and educating children. I started working with kids when I was 21 years old, nearly 19 years ago. In my spare time, I like to be with my family and friends. I'm usually cooking and baking yummy food and treats for my loved ones. One thing you should know about me is that I really do enjoy working with children. Making sure a child feels heard, seen, safe and loved is my priority. My skills include: Communicating with children in a caring and effective manner. Being able to influence and negotiate in positive ways. Being able to nurture a child's individuality and uniqueness.
