My Summary
About Me
My name is Raheela.. they call me Super Nanny
;-)
I have 14 years solid child care experience as sole charge with all ages of children. I am passionate and full of pride with what I do and take all responsibilities seriously. I am fun, loving, and outgoing and plan great days and trips out for children to enjoy and be stimulated. I encourage positive behaviour, independence and road safety.
I understand the physical and emotional demands of working with children and have the perfect blend of patience and energy. I have excellent verbal, listening and written communication skills to effectively work with parents and on teaching children.
I am honest, polite and love children and enjoy their company immensely and find nothing is more rewarding then taking care of them. I believe in creating a positive, happy environment for all children, one in which they feel protected and can thrive.
A well-mannered, articulate and responsible nanny, with great deal of experience and interest in children and their development. A confident child carer who is emotionally mature and possess high energy levels and ability to develop close relationships with both children and families. Excellent communication skills and able to relate well with people at all levels and converse in a polite and courteous manner. Able to work to an excellent standard and considerable pressure whilst presenting a positive image to others.
Keen to find a challenging position within a responsible employer where I will be able to continue to increase my work experience and develop my abilities.

Reviews
Below are the latest reviews for Raheela. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk users and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
Raheela reached out to us in regards to her interest in applying for our nanny position. We requested a CV and asked if she could meet us for an interview.
Everything seemed positive, except on the day of the interview she never showed up. I texted her mobile to see if she was alright. She replied and asked who I was, even though I wrote my name in the text.
I replied to her and reminded her that I was the interviewer for my nanny position she applied for and although I was glad she was alright, it was best not to go forward with her application. She did not even reply to apologise or explain why she had missed our interview.
However, this was a blessing in disguise as we would not want to hire someone who did not keep appointments without explanation and was not organised.
