Sohaila cared for our daughter, Zoya, with so much love, patience, and dedication that she truly became like a second mum to her. She supported Zoya through important developmental milestones, encouraged her learning, and gave us complete peace of mind as first-time parents.
As first-time parents, we were very nervous about sending Zoya to a childminder when she was only 6–7 months old. At that stage, she could only sit and wasn't crawling yet. Zoya always took her own sweet time with milestones – she only started walking at around 19 months – but Sohaila was there every step of the way.
Sohaila looked after Zoya as if she were her own child. She patiently encouraged and supported her as she learned to crawl and later take her first steps. Zoya absolutely adored Sohaila and Atifa – to the point where she would happily jump into Sohaila's arms at drop-off time.
Not only did Zoya thrive emotionally and physically in Sohaila's care, but she also progressed tremendously in her learning and development. She was constantly being engaged in activities that helped her grow and learn. She started recognising her ABCs, learning numbers, and coming home with new words and phrases that genuinely surprised us. It was wonderful to see how much she was developing and gaining confidence during her time there.
Sohaila was incredibly flexible, supportive, and a real help to our family. She allowed us to go to work every day with complete peace of mind, knowing that Zoya was safe, happy, and well cared for. Zoya also made lots of friends with the other children and truly enjoyed her time there.
Zoya stayed with Sohaila for a whole year, and the only reason she left was because we moved away. If distance had not become an issue, Zoya would have definitely remained in Sohaila's care.
We cannot recommend Sohaila highly enough and are so grateful for everything she did for our daughter and our family.
