I am a single mother of two (toddler and a 1 year old). Shabnam took care of my kids like her own. Every mother finds it hard to be apart from her kids but I was at peace when my kids were with Shabnam. She respected my choices; at the beginning, she asked me for a routine I followed at home. Then she tried to follow this as close as possible during the day. She provided the highest quality food. She went out of her way to ensure my kids were stimulated each day, ensuring a great mix of creative and physical play. My eldest enjoyed her time so much she is waiting for me to get another job so she can return to 'Auntie Shabnam'!

Shabnam was a respectful and caring professional. She regularly kept me updated with progress reports and photos and videos. She went the extra mile to ensure my kids received a welcoming, homely environment. Although it was hard for me to leave my kids each morning, I was happy in the knowledge Shabnam took great care of them and treated them like her own children. I don't think a mother can ask for anymore; a loving, clean and safe home environment and a caring and reliable professional.

Thank you for taking care of my kids like your own Shabnam. It's a testament to your personality and home that even now my kids remember you as Auntie Shabnam. I hope we will be able to return as soon as I find another job! We all miss you.
