My Summary
About Me
Hi parents, I'm a qualified nursery nurse practitioner, nanny, and mother. I worked in nurseries, schools, and in home environments. I love playing outdoor games and cooking with children 0-14 years old. I have art A level love doing creative activities for all age groups. I have a great understanding of the national curriculum for young children to arrange activities to get them ready for their key stage. I have been recently working with a few children, SEN, and love to arrange activities and games they like and most of all caring and give best childcare as every child is different I'm try too catere for theirs needs.
I have had a childcare experience for over 20 years now. I previously worked as a nursery nurse and have gone on to become nursery manager. I now have kids of my own and have applied my experience and skill while raising my own children. I believe in learning to be a continuous journey, and children can learn from everyday activities in addition to planned educational activities.
As a mother and senior montessori and SEN nanny, I have experience with newborn babies and have worked with children from 0 months to 5 years in a nursery environment, too. I know young babies are very special and to give the best support to parents with babies.
In my current situation, I am just walking to work for the safety and well-being of both parties. I live near leytonstone Station and I hope to hear from you soon.

Our son immediately struck up a raport with Shabana and is always happy to see her. He has developmental delays but her calm demeanour helps him feel safe and settled. His writing/drawing has come on leaps and bounds during his time with Shabana, so much so that he now loves to draw and has the confidence to do so, which wasn’t the case before. He used to just want to watch us draw. She is focused on helping prepare him for school full-time by teaching him phonics, writing, numbers which is hugely beneficial and exactly what we want as he is currently at school part-time.

I just want to say how happy I am with Shabana. She looked after my 5-year-old son Ismail, who is non-verbal and autistic, and she did such a wonderful job. She was so calm and gentle with him, and handled him with so much care. She even gave him a nice, warm bath and put him to sleep so peacefully.
While I was away, she kept me updated the whole time, which really made me feel at ease. She also helped around the house without me even asking, which was so thoughtful of her.
As a mom, I was very nervous about hiring a nanny, but Shabana has truly gained my trust. She is kind, patient, and very committed to her work. I’m so thankful to have found her, and I’ll definitely be calling her again to help with Ismail in the future.

Shabana has been truly excellent on each occasion we've used her. This has been ad-hoc support with the school run from time to time and many other occasions when we've needed her as a babysitter. She has a lovely style with our boys and is really well qualified. Highly recommended and we continue to use her and rate her highly.

Shabana is a wonderful nanny! She has been taking care of my 11 week old twice a week. The first time she instantly bonded with my baby and made both him and me feel very comfortable. She has a confident and gentle way with babies, and provides three lots of active care including playing with them, singing them songs, etc she is very punctual and a great communicator. She adapted very well into our home and any requests we had for our baby. I highly recommend her!

Shabana is a great nanny. She was part of a nanny share, but she was very communicative and caring for our daughter, and our little one took to her very quickly. Shabana was punctual and very communicative with us as parents from day 1. She fully respected our routines and checked in with us for any alterations. The little one saw her as authoritative but reliable figure. Unfortunately we had to move to a different part of the country and was too far for Shabana to continue helping us with the little one.
