About Me

Hi, I’m Shaida—a Wellness Coach and Massage Therapist with a genuine passion for childcare. I’m calm, nurturing, and deeply committed to creating a safe, supportive environment where children feel heard, encouraged, and cared for.

I grew up in a household where my mum was a childminder, so from a young age, I was immersed in the rhythms of looking after children. That early exposure helped me develop patience, empathy, and a strong sense of responsibility—qualities that still shape the way I care for children today.

I’m also a creative at heart and love bringing that energy into my work with kids. Whether it’s storytelling, singing, arts and crafts, or imaginative play, I always look for ways to make our time together engaging and joyful. I also have a strong interest in emotional well-being and mindfulness, and I naturally bring a calming presence to the home.

Childcare is something I truly enjoy, and I'm excited to continue supporting families in a meaningful, dependable way.

My Experience

Most recently, from November 2024 to February 2025, I worked as a nanny for two siblings aged 9 and 12. I did school pickups and cared for them each afternoon until their parents returned from work. My responsibilities included preparing dinner for the family, doing laundry and light cleaning, and creating a calm, supportive environment after school. I also provided evening babysitting when needed.

I have also babysat for two siblings aged 6 and 8 during school holidays. My role involved preparing their meals and planning engaging activities such as trips to the park, board games, and creative play in the garden.

In another role, I worked as a nanny for a 4-year-old girl, helping her get ready in the mornings and taking her to school. Occasionally, I also picked her up in the afternoons and cared for her until her parents returned.

Additionally, I worked as a midday supervisor at a primary school, where I supervised children during lunch breaks, ensured their safety and well-being, and supported them with any issues that arose. This experience strengthened my ability to manage groups of children in a school setting with patience and care.

My Qualifications

My Availability

I run a massage and wellness business, which allows me the flexibility to create a balanced schedule. I’m excited to offer light and local childcare support, particularly for school drop-offs, pick-ups, and short after-school care (up to 3 hours per day).

I’m also available for occasional babysitting and weekend care, ideally for roles that are manageable and don’t require full-time or intensive commitments. Currently, I’m focusing on positions that don’t include meal preparation or long evening shifts.

Shaida is very kind and loving person. She is very professional and always on time.
Since day one our daughter felt comfortable and happy with her.
She is flexible with the hours and always helpful when she needs to stay a bit longer, or start early.
We are absolutely happy that we met her and she became part of the family.
