My Summary
About Me
Hello,
I’m Charlyne, a 34-year-old professional from Nancy, France. I studied at the esteemed Académie des Gouvernantes in Paris, which mirrors the pedagogical approach of Norland College, renowned for training the royal family's nannies. I also previously studied Psychology at University with a focus on child development.
I consider myself a reliable and dependable caregiver, with a deep commitment to patience and understanding. I believe that each child is unique and deserves a tailored approach to their development. My practice places strong emphasis on emotional intelligence, using mindfulness, kindness, and healthy emotional expression to nurture a child’s growth.
With over 10 years of childcare experience, I’ve spent the majority of those years as a private nanny, working in Paris, London, and Manchester. My most rewarding journey began in November 2020 with the birth of my daughter, Artemis, and I’ve since been fully devoted to raising her. As I now look forward to returning to work, I seek a part-time role where I can continue my professional career while she’s at Nursery.
I am fluent in English and a native French speaker, allowing me to comfortably work in either language, or even both. My skill set includes:
Assisting with homework
Planning and preparing meals
Bathing and dressing
Light child-related housekeeping
Encouraging creativity and educational growth through imaginative play
Providing a safe, caring, and stimulating environment for development
Teaching French and creating bilingual activities
Organizing playtime and playdates
Managing school schedules and extracurricular activities
Ensuring the upkeep of children's bedrooms and play areas
Handling children’s laundry and minor tailoring
Overseeing social and etiquette training
Staying updated on the latest educational tools and approaches
Partnering with parents to support the child’s educational and social development
With my extensive experience and passion for nurturing children, I am excited to bring my expertise and personal touch to a new family.
