My Summary
About Me
Hello families,
My name is Athmana Shijo, age 24, and I’m based in M8 4FE. I’m a qualified BSc Nurse and now studying MSc Nursing at the University of Salford. Caring for others is what I do professionally, and that includes keeping children safe, engaged, and happy. I have full training in first aid and understand child development, allergies, and medical needs. I’m responsible, calm under pressure, and available for evenings and weekends.
My Experience
I studied pediatric nursing as a core subject and have hands-on experience caring for all age groups:
- Newborns: Feeding, burping, safe sleep positioning, cord care, recognising signs of illness, and supporting new parents.
- Infants 0-12 months: Weaning support, developmental milestones, soothing techniques, and maintaining hygiene/sterilisation for bottles and toys.
- Toddlers 1-3 years: Managing tantrums calmly, potty training, toddler-proofing spaces, and engaging in age-appropriate play for motor and speech development.
- School-age kids 4+: Help with homework, structured routines, managing minor injuries, and recognising signs of common childhood illnesses like asthma or allergies.
Additional Skills
- First Aid & CPR trained with clinical experience handling emergencies.
- Comfortable administering medications, managing allergies, asthma inhalers, and special dietary needs.
- Experience supporting children with special needs and post-hospital care.
- Strong understanding of infection control, hygiene, and child safeguarding from my nursing background.
- Reliable, patient, and calm under pressure. I keep kids safe while making sure they have fun.
I’m available for evenings and weekends, and happy to help with bedtime routines, meals, homework, or light housekeeping related to the children. References available on request.
