About Me

Update: NOT AVAILABLE

My name is Shamima, I have 6 years of experience in working with children from ages 3 months to 5 years. I worked 6 years as a nursery assistant and 2 years as a nanny and babysitter. I have been working part time as a nursery assistant for Bright Horizons since 2017 (still do), I work as a part time/ full time nanny and I also work as a babysitter. I work with 2 other companies for babysitting and nannying, so I am quite experienced with the role.

I have developed strong skills in communicating effectively and being able to support children in a positive manner. I consider myself to have great interpersonal skills helping me to liaise with colleagues and parents effectively and comfortably. I am very dedicated to building an enjoyable learning experience for children by offering an engaging educational environment to further enhance their skills and abilities. I am a cheerful, enthusiastic person with a passion to provide a cheerful and joyful learning experience, whilst providing first-class childcare for all children under my supervision. Patience and stability are key skills when working with children, and I possess these skills as I can stay patient and calm in stressful circumstances.

I see myself to be a very calm and loving person, I would ensure that every child is safe and happy in my care. I would make sure the child enjoys themselves and also providing the child with a calm and loving environment. I am a very friendly and joyful person; I am a committed and ambitious individual dedicated to providing a supportive and secure environment for the basic needs of each child. I have an enthusiastic and hardworking attitude to ensure good practice is demonstrated.

My Experience

I have experience working as a nursery assistant, baby sitter, nanny and teaching assistant. I have 6 years of experience in working with children from ages 3 months to 5 years in a nursery and as a nanny. I am also a part time nanny and babysitter.

My main responsibilities as a nursery assistant were to supervise children during breakfast, snack, lunch, sleep, and playtime, I also was assisting nursery staff to manage the nursery, feeding babies and toddlers, changing nappies, putting children to sleep, taking them on outings. I also had the responsibility to support children in their learning by taking on one-to-one classes. I had the ability to create a caring and stimulating environment that promotes learning through play, also ensuring children are safe and happy in my care.

Another responsibility for me was to complete paperwork such as noting down how much each child ate during lunch, noting down when they went to sleep and how long they have been sleeping for. I had to note down if any minor accidents were occurred and then report them back to my manager. As a nursery assistant, I had to make sure the classrooms are clean after breakfast and lunch, making sure everything in the room is organized and kept in the right places.

I worked in reception and primary schools for a short amount of time to gain more experience. The responsibilities that I had were to organize activities to stimulate interest in learning, helping prepare the classroom for lessons, providing one to one support to children with additional needs. Helping the teacher to manage class behavior, leading classes, working with a small group to provide effective support in learning. I have some experience in babysitting, I would help a family relative to look after their child as they go to work. The responsibility would be to feed the child, changing nappies, putting the child to sleep and also keeping the child entertained by getting toys such as wooden alphabets trains, blocks, a teddy bear, or a puppet.

I have also been baby sitting my nephew by myself from 2 months while his parents take some time off (he is currently 2 years old).

I have worked long/short term with many different families, I also done babysitting for children under 3 months, the youngest was a 4 week old.

- I have been a nanny for a lot of families but unfortunately the role ended as the children started going to school.
- Currently I am a nanny for a family long term (it has been a year) - Thursdays (school pick up, after 4pm) & some Saturdays and Sundays
- I do school pick ups Mon - Wed for another family (long term) (after 4pm)
- and other old families have stayed in contact for babysitting
- Some Saturday and Sunday babysitting for current families and new families

- Nursery assistant for 6 years
- Nanny and babysitter for 2 years

Shamima worked with us for a few months over the summer and looked after our c. 18 months old son really well. She’d give him his meals, change him and take him to his regular activities. Good communication, reliable and flexible. Thanks for all your help!

I have soo much good things to say about Shamima. My list doesn’t end, she is the most lovely and caring person. She bonded with my twins soo quickly that my children always wanted her. She is a amazing person. Everything she did was professional and she was like a family member to me. Shamima is a great nanny, she has such brilliant experience with children. She took my children on outings such as the park, museums, library and many more. She helped me out a lot. She is a very friendly and fun person, very respectful and handles everything with care. Shamima was with my children from the ages to 9 months to 2 years. Unfortunately the role had to end as my children began going school. But I still stay in contact for occasionally babysitting as my children grew a strong bond with her. We love her, she will always be apart of our family

I really recommend her to other families.

Thank you accepting me into your family for the second time for your twins. I am very happy to have looked after all of your childrens. Your family is amazing, the children are adorable and very smart. I am happy to do babysitting. Thank you for the loverly review again.

Shamima is the most loving and caring nanny, she has soo much skills. She looked after my 6 month old daughter short term, my daughter does not like sleeping and she cries a lot. But Shamima magically made my daughter fall asleep without any problems. She had her own techniques that automatically came out, it was very natural. Shamima is very patient and she is able to manage being under stress, even though my daughter is difficult, my daughter quickly bonded with her and every time Shamima finished her shift, my daughter would cry for her. She took my daughter to parks or any sensory plays which helped me get some free time, she is also very helpful, she had no problem at all. Shamima is a very respectful and caring individual who knows her own ways on how to manage things and she does it naturally without me saying anything. Shamima is very professional and she knows what she does, I'm happy that she was part of my family even though it for a short time. I wish her all the best!

Shamima is a trustworthy and caring nanny. She spent a few hours a week with my baby boy (7 months). She was feeding him, changing nappy, putting him to sleep, taking him to the park and also helped with bath time. Shamima was aware of safety, she made sure he was safe in her care. Shamima had a great bond with my son, she instantly had a connection. She is a good communicator, very respectful and has good manners.
