——————————
My name is Shamima, and I have 8 years of experience working with children ranging from 3 months to 7 years old. I spent 7 years as a nursery assistant and 4 years working as a nanny and babysitter. Since 2017, I have been working part-time as a nursery assistant, which came to an end as I focused on my nannying career. Additionally, now I work as both a part-time and full-time nanny, as well as a babysitter. I also have experience caring for my nieces and nephews, and many more families. Furthermore, I work with two other companies providing babysitting and nanny services, which has further enriched my experience in these roles.
I have developed strong communication skills and the ability to support children in a positive and nurturing manner. My excellent interpersonal skills enable me to liaise effectively with both colleagues and parents, fostering comfortable and productive relationships. I am deeply committed to creating enjoyable learning experiences for children, offering an engaging educational environment that supports their growth and development. As a cheerful and enthusiastic individual, I am passionate about providing a joyful learning atmosphere while delivering top-quality childcare. Patience and stability are essential when working with children, and I excel in these areas, remaining calm and composed even in challenging situations.
I consider myself a calm, loving, and dedicated individual, committed to ensuring every child feels safe and happy under my care. I prioritize creating a nurturing environment where children can enjoy themselves while feeling secure and supported. As a friendly and joyful person, I am passionate about providing a positive atmosphere that fosters both emotional well-being and development. I am also highly committed and ambitious, always striving to meet the individual needs of each child. With an enthusiastic and hardworking approach, I am dedicated to demonstrating best practices in childcare.
My Experience
As a nursery assistant, my primary responsibilities included supervising children during breakfast, snack, lunch, nap, and playtime. I assisted the nursery staff in managing daily activities, which encompassed feeding babies and toddlers, changing nappies, helping children settle for naps, and accompanying them on outings. In addition, I supported children's learning by conducting one-to-one sessions, tailoring activities to their individual needs.
I consistently worked to create a caring and stimulating environment that encouraged learning through play, while prioritising each child’s safety and well-being, ensuring they felt secure and content in my care.
Another key responsibility was completing documentation, including recording each child’s food intake at lunch, sleep times, and duration of rest. I also documented any minor accidents and promptly reported them to my manager. As a nursery assistant, I ensured that classrooms were clean and organised after breakfast and lunch, and playtime, with all items returned to their designated places to maintain a safe and orderly environment.
I gained additional experience by working in reception and primary school settings, where my responsibilities included organizing activities to foster interest in learning, preparing the classroom for lessons, and providing one-on-one support to children with additional needs. I assisted the teacher in managing classroom behavior, led classes, and supported small groups to enhance learning outcomes.
I also have experience in babysitting, regularly caring for a family member’s child and working with other families who required childcare support. My responsibilities included feeding, changing nappies, putting the child down for naps, and engaging them with developmental toys such as wooden alphabet trains, building blocks, farm animals, and puppets, and many more. I focused on creating a fun, supportive environment that encouraged learning and development through play.
I have experience working with numerous families in both long- and short-term capacities, including babysitting for infants under three months old, with the youngest being just four weeks old.
I have worked as a nanny for numerous families; however, these roles concluded as the children transitioned to school.

Shamima has nannied for us since our child was 4 months old, now 1.5 years. I interviewed several candidates before selecting her and never looked back because it has been so great!
She is truly committed to being an excellent nanny, you can see it in her demeanor and professionalism. It’s really nice when someone clearly works in a capacity that they are passionate about.
She always puts a ton of energy into engaging with our toddler and making her laugh. It has been wonderful to see my child’s relationship grow with Shamima as she really tries to understand my child.
Finally, Shamima is hard working and can be trusted to do things in the kids and parents best interests, whether it’s to put the child to sleep to bedtime or feeding etc. Really a wonderful nanny who you can trust to give your kid a wonderful time and be responsible in your home!

Shamima became our short term nanny for a few months, caring for my son a couple of mornings and occasionally in the evenings. From the very first day, she brought such warmth and calm into our home, and we instantly felt at ease knowing our son was with someone who genuinely cared about his happiness and well being. She is dependable, communicative, and always respectful, truly everything you’d hope for in a professional nanny. She handled every situation with grace and consistently supported us in our daily routine.
Over time, she naturally became an important part of our family. My son absolutely adored her, and we have to say, it was truly a joy having her with us. We are so grateful for her support and would wholeheartedly recommend Shamima to any family looking for a caring, trustworthy, and exceptional nanny.

Thank you so much for such a wonderful review! I truly enjoyed every moment spent with your family and it warms my heart to know I made a positive difference in your lives. Your son is such a bright and joyful little person, and it was an absolute pleasure to be a part of his days. I’m grateful for the trust you placed in me, and I’m so happy we could build a relationship that felt like family. It means so much to hear that I could offer the support and care you were looking for. Wishing you all the best, and thank you again for such kind words!
Shamima is our babysitter and, although she hasn’t been with our family for very long, she has already provided incredible support whenever we needed extra help or when our regular nannies were unavailable. We couldn’t be more pleased. We first found her through another babysitting platform and, after seeing her profile here, we wanted to share our experience.
Shamima cared for our two year old twin girls, who bonded with her quickly despite being shy. She was incredibly patient and engaging, often planning outings to parks, museums, the library, and various play activities. She also connected very well with our older children. She consistently went above and beyond not only keeping the children entertained but also helping my pregnant wife with daily tasks, even when it wasn’t expected. We also book her for evening sits, and she manages everything from dinner and bath time to bedtime with ease.
Shamima is reliable, proactive, and kind a true support to our family. We continue to stay in touch and still book her whenever needed. She has truly become part of our family.
Thank you, Shamima, we can’t wait to see you again!
Highly recommended. :)

Thank you so much for this lovely review! It’s been such a joy getting to know your family and spending time with your little ones. The twins are absolutely wonderful, and watching them open up and bond with me so quickly has been really special. I’ve also loved connecting with your older kids and being able to support your family in whatever way I can whether it’s a fun day out, a cozy bedtime routine, or helping out around the house.
I'm truly touched by your kind words and the trust you’ve shown me. I look forward to every visit and feel lucky to be part of your lives. Thank you again.
Warm wishes,
Shamima
