My Summary
About Me
Hello I’m Shaheen, I offer holistic childcare. I enjoy empowering little people, our future. I love to support and encourage little ones imagination through play, dance, arts & crafts. I encourage interacting through play, tolerance of diversity, community, basic ecology and harmony with green nature. I'm naturally nurturing, empathetic, calm & mature; a responsive caregiver. A playful, patient, tolerant personality who has a natural rapport with children.
My guidance & support is based on gentle parenting and child led. My natural response & engagement with children is intuitive & holistic when supporting their emotional, mental & physical needs.
I enjoy working long term with families and building healthy supportive, happy relationships with all members of the family (including animal ones!)
I'm also organized, flexible and self-employed.
I would just like to add that I'm not a housekeeper but a childcarer. My priority is the children's wellbeing, so quality time with responsive attention is first. I'm happy to do light work such as making healthy snacks/lunch and tidying up after meals & play.
My other enjoyments are guiding people to their wellbeing through complementary therapies, meditation & yoga. Enjoy painting, reading and studying health, wellbeing and arts, meditation and yoga practises. I'm active and agile.
Thankyou for looking over my profile. Please do contact me if my work ethics are of interest to yourself or your precious little ones.
My Experience
