About Charlene

Experience: 10 yrs

I was born in 1975 and am the proud mother of a daughter born in 2009. I have been a professional nanny and or sitter for dozens of Austin professionals for over 30 years, including doctors, therapists, lawyers and even a licensed child advocate. I started my career in caregiving at just 10 yrs old working with my mother for her in-home daycare after school, as well as during summers, until I was 15 when I took my first nanny position as a Summer job for a family with a new born, 2yr old and 4 yr old. In college I made A's in my Child Development and Educating Young Children classes. I have also worked for multiple childcare facilities and private schools. I have multiple certifications including in Montessori education and The Outdoor Classroom. I also do professional pet sitting in my spare time. I'm happy to incorporate Pet care for your family pets. I have lots of stellar reviews, and letters of recommendation beyond what is on this profile to share upon request.

100% would re-hire Charlie again! We hired her for a part-time, summer stint to watch over our 4mo baby and have had such a great experience with her. Through her interactions with our baby girl, I can tell she genuinely cares about her well-being and development. She's consistently on-time, very responsive and has such a calm and loving presence. She's also very respectful of our home and property, and is very considerate of our preferences for how to raise our daughter. And to top it all off, our baby smiles every morning when she sees Charlie arrive - which is the best sign that she's truly being taken care of.
