For all enquiries about this workshop:

Hi! My name is Charlene Odendaal, and I am The Nanny Movement Facilitator in the Nelspruit/White River area.
I have a B.A. (Value and Policy Studies) and experience in a wide array of fields, from recruitment to working with special needs children to implementing new electronic systems. I am currently an entrepreneur mom with three kids, ages 17, 15, and 10.
Being a working mom and a widow, I realize the value of a good nanny and domestic worker.
I have a passion for uplifting people, and that is why The Nanny Movement is an excellent tool for me to use my skills for the greater good.
I would love to be a part of your journey, whether it is giving you the peace of mind to leave your child with a capable nanny/au pair/preschool assistant or whether it is to ensure that your needs are met with the most suitable candidate to become part of your household.
