About Carlene
Experience: 10 yrs
Experienced, Nurturing Childcare Provider with a Love for Nature, Art, and Learning Hi! I'm a reliable and loving caregiver with decades of experience working with children of all ages. I'm a part time nature preschool instructor and former Waldorf-certified kindergarten teacher who brings creativity, patience, and joy to every child's day. I care for babies with attentiveness, intuition, and gentleness, and I create enriching experiences for older children through singing, reading, puppet shows, nature walks, silly dancing, sensory play, and hands-on art. My approach is gentle, imaginative, and rooted in a deep interest of the developing child. I'm currently looking for part-time or supplementary caregiving opportunities. I'm available some evenings and weekends and occasional full weekday days. Let's connect to see how I can support your family
