My Summary
Nanny And Babysitter
About Me
Hello! I’m a mum of three (13, 8, and 1) and understand how important individual care is—one of my children has autism, so I know the value of patience and tailored support.
I’m friendly, reliable, and love creating fun, safe environments where children feel happy and secure.
I hold a Master’s in Education (specializing in special needs support) and have 11+ years of teaching experience plus 3+ years of professional childcare (newborns to age 14, including children with additional needs).
During the Covid-19 pandemic, I also volunteered as a healthcare assistant, gaining basic first aid and emergency response skills.

We absolutely loved having Ruhana as our nanny. She was wonderful with our son, patient, kind, and always engaging him in creative, age-appropriate activities. From the very start, she made us feel completely at ease with her professionalism and genuine care.
What really stood out was how trustworthy and dependable she is. We never had to worry when our son was in her care. She always arrived on time, communicated clearly, and went above and beyond to help out wherever she could. My son adored her, and she quickly became part of the family.
We can’t recommend Ruhana enough to any family looking for someone responsible, loving, and reliable. As a FTM she taught me a lot and She’s truly a gem!

Thank you so much Shivnita for your kind words. It was such a joy spending time with your little one and watching him grow and explore each day. I truly appreciated how welcoming and supportive your family was — it made caring for him feel so natural. I’ll always cherish our time together and wish you all the best in this next chapter! 😊
Ruhana is my go to Babysitter. I trust her with my kids. She demonstrated so much care towards my lil ones. For example, my youngest is 1 and has very bad eczema. She put on his creams consistently as instructed and gives him cuddles when he is stressed/unwell and feeds him very well. She has no troubles to put kids to sleep either.

Ruhana was more than my son’s nanny—she became family. From the moment she stepped into our home, her warmth and care were undeniable. She bonded with my baby instantly and showered him with so much with love and attention, she took him like her own and I will be forever grateful for her.
Ruhana’s time with us was brief but her impact will last a lifetime. We are so grateful for everything she did for our baby Anyone lucky enough to have her in their lives will feel the same❤️

We had an unusual request, we needed a babysitter for our hotel stay while we went to a conference and Ruhana was flexible, available, really open minded and the children immediately loved her. Our little one made a little trouble for her but she managed it professionally and emphatically.

Ruhana is such a blessing to our household and amazing how the boys took to her so easily. She is very warm and gentle and has that maternal touch a mum seeks when leaving a child to another to care for.
We are glad we found you Ruhana.
Thank you!
