About Me
A Humanistic Philosophy of Care
At the heart of my work is a humanistic approach, one that honors the emotional landscape of both the child and the parents.
I practice this means:
•Empathy-led support: Listening deeply to parental concerns and validating their experiences
•Attachment-aware practices: Encouraging bonding moments even during structured routines
•Holistic care: Recognizing that sleep and feeding are intertwined with emotional wellbeing
I strive to be a calming presence in the home, not only for the baby but for the entire family. Whether it’s a quiet reassurance in the middle of the night or a warm smile in the morning, my goal is to foster peace, confidence, and connection.

We’ve had Sheilla with us for several months now, and she has been absolutely amazing. As a night nanny, she has given us the gift of rest and peace of mind. I can completely relax knowing our baby is in her care. She mainly looks after our newborn, who has had some stomach issues, and she’s truly been a lifesaver — on nights when our baby is struggling to sleep, Sheilla is there with calm, capable support. She bonded with our newborn immediately, and even our toddler — who only had to spend five minutes with her one morning to fall in love — asks about her throughout the day, which is such a testament to her warmth and gentle nature. We’re so grateful to have her in our lives and couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Thank you so much for your beautiful words, Jorja.
Supporting your family during these early months has truly been an honour.
Every night spent with your little I. has deepened my commitment to gentle, responsive, and loving care. It has strengthened my mission to plant a small seed of love in the hearts of the families I’m blessed to be part of…even if only for “a moment in time.”
Experiencing D’s joyful connection with me has been the sweetest surprise ❤️ and
Your trust means the world to me.
I will miss you all, when my time with your family comes to an end, the fond memories will always remain in my heart and soul though!🕊️
With love and gratitude,
Sheilla ❤️🕊️
Sheilla came to babysit our 3-month old son. It was our first time leaving him with non-family, and we could not have felt more relaxed or happy leaving him in Sheilla's loving care. She came to meet us about a week before and immediately struck up a warm and gentle connection with him. I asked Sheilla to bathe, feed and put our baby to bed, but she did so much more - cleaning the nappy bag, nappy bin, sterilising all his bottles etc. I feel like we've found an angel who will support us as parents, and I couldn't recommend her more.

I've known Sheilla for about one month now and I could not praise her enough. She is sweet, carrying, warm, but also punctual, professional and reliable. What's more, she has the gift of bonding with children instantly. My baby son adores her and I am extremely grateful for all the care and support she gives me and to my family! As a nanny, she as my highest recommendation!

Sheilla was absolutely brilliant with our 6 year old son. She immediately built rapport with him and supported us with his busy schedule. Sheila planned her time with our son very well and kept him engaged throughout. She helped him with his homework, including prep for spelling tests, craft work on a daily basis and daily maths and reading exercises.
Sheilla picked our son up from school everyday and navigated quite a complicated pick up schedule with ease. She was a lot more successful than we have ever been with getting lost properly back! I can’t thank her enough for doing such a great job and would highly recommend her.
