It is one year Shama is taking care after my 4 and 2 years old kids and she is part of the family. My kids are feeling confident and enjoying the time with her , playing and learning new things.
She is careful, trustworthy, kind and caring. I would highly recommend her to anyone

I really have no words to describe how lucky I feel meeting Shama and knowing that my little boy is with her. She has been taking care of my son since he was 7 months old and she is doing a great job. She is a professional childminder, very caring and attentive My son loves her and I feel reassured knowing that he is with her. I highly recommend Shama and I hope she will have availability in the future for my son and for my coming kids as well. We love you Shama ❤❤

My daughter loved it. She played a lot until she got tired and slept calmly.
The house is suitable for children.
If my daughter feels safe, your children will be well delivered and safe in this childminder.
Thanks to Shama for the great work.
