Hi, I’m Charlotte! I’ve been working with kids as long as I can remember and I am extremely passionate about protecting the minds of our future. I considered going into child psychology but I have been called more into music and ministry as of late. I believe that it is our responsibility to help guide the next generation and create a space where they feel nurtured and loved so that they grow up into strong and capable individuals. I am a firm believer in the power love has in a persons life and not only do I want to make sure that each child has their needs met, I am big on protecting the love of family with the kids. I am not here to be a mother but an aide. I am very protective of the relationship between a mother and child and it is something I do not wish to hinder but rather strengthen. My history includes babysitting for multiple homeschool co-ops in high school, working for a couple new moms as a mother’s helper so that they could bond with their baby, and nannying from my senior year til the present. My time nannying included Montessori education, nature studies and homeschooling different subjects. My last family I was with for four years off and on while shuffling some college classes and I had four kids spanning from 8yrs to 3 months old. I’m also the oldest of five kids. I currently tutor at a co-op once a week with ages 6-7 and 12+. I also used to teach 8-10 year olds as well as work in the nursery. On top of this, I also work occasionally as a certified DSP in HomeBased services but my hours are inconsistent and flexible.

I have professional experience working with children ages 5 and younger in a childcare and early learning setting. My role involved planning and implementing developmentally appropriate activities that promoted social, emotional, and cognitive growth. I supported children in developing independence, cooperation, and problem-solving skills through structured play, hands-on learning, and daily routines.In addition to my professional experience, I am a mother of two young daughters, ages 1 and 3. This has enhanced my understanding of early childhood development and strengthened my ability to provide nurturing, patient, and consistent care. Balancing both roles has allowed me to refine my communication, time management, and behavior guidance skills—qualities that contribute to my effectiveness in supporting children and families within a childcare environment. I am a dedicated and compassionate early childhood educator with a strong passion for helping children learn, grow, and reach their full potential. I have experience working with children ages 5 and older, as well as hands-on experience caring for my two young daughters, ages 1 and 3. These experiences have strengthened my understanding of child development, patience, and the importance of creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment.

I’m a mother of two and have been living in Charlotte for 18 years since moving from Chicago. I’ve been teaching in early education for over 20 years, with experience working with children from infancy through grade school. I truly enjoy working with children because it’s such a fun and rewarding career—watching them grow and develop new skills in creative, active, and engaging ways brings me joy every day.Outside of work, when I’m babysitting or nannying, I enjoy being in the child’s environment. I love how excited they get to show me their toys and share their play experiences at home. I also understand that parents have busy lives, so I’m open to helping with overnights or picking up and dropping off children when needed.I believe in creating a safe, nurturing, and positive environment where children can learn and have fun at the same time. My goal is to give parents peace of mind knowing their children are in caring and capable hands. I look forward to partnering with families and becoming a trusted part of their child’s daily routine.
