My Summary
About Me
Hi, I’m a highly experienced, caring, and reliable nanny with over 26 years of experience as a former childminder. I am passionate about supporting children in a warm, safe, and nurturing home environment where they can feel happy and thrive.
I have experience caring for children of all ages, including newborns, and understand the importance of routines, patience, and providing individual attention to support each child’s development. I enjoy planning fun and engaging activities such as arts and crafts, reading, and outdoor play, as well as supporting learning through play and helping with homework.
I am confident with daily routines including school runs, meal preparation, and maintaining a structured yet flexible day that suits each family’s needs. I am also happy to assist with light household tasks related to the children.
I am trustworthy, patient, and dedicated, and I pride myself on building strong, positive relationships with both children and parents. My aim as a nanny is to create a calm, supportive environment while helping children grow in confidence, independence, and happiness.
Thank you.

My son attended Shakiras day care at her house from the ages of 7 months til 11 months and at short notice as I had some work come up. He settled in really well and was very well looked after my Shakira and her team of helpers! Shakira is a very kind and welcoming woman and I felt very safe and comforted leaving my son with her. We only moved him as we unexpectedly had a nursery space become available. He was always happy when we went to collect him!! Thank you!

Thank you very much
We were incredibly fortunate to have found Sharika and her team when we needed childcare at short notice. Our 1-year-old daughter quickly formed a strong bond with them, and it was clear that she was in a safe and happy environment. Their outdoor space is fantastic. We highly recommend their services!

Our daughter started with Shakira at 12mo. She settled in so quickly with the love and care of Shakira and her assistants. Since then she has thrived in a playful atmosphere with lots of outdoor play in the big garden. Will be sad to leave for the next step (nursery).
