My Summary
Maternity Nurse / Night Nanny
About Me
Hi, my name is Sheila, and I'm currently seeking a new role in childcare. I have been working with children since I was 15, starting with caring for my younger brother and sister, and then babysitting for kids in our neighbourhood. In recent years, I have primarily worked with newborns and toddlers, but I enjoy working with children of all ages.
My Experience
With nearly 15 years of experience in childcare, I have cared for children of all ages, from newborn infants to older children. Throughout my career, I have developed a wealth of experience engaging children in stimulating activities while working as a childcare assistant, private nanny, and nursery nurse. I am a principled and honest professional with high integrity. I love children and enjoy working with them, and I take my responsibilities very seriously.
Predominately, I specialise in providing
overnight care for newborns and infants, allowing parents to rest and recuperate.
Key responsibilities include:
1. Overnight Feeding…Handling bottle feedings or bringing the baby to the mother for breastfeeding.
2. Diaper Changes…Changing diapers during the night to ensure the baby stays comfortable.
3. Sleep Training…Implementing routines and techniques to help the baby develop healthy sleep habits.
4. Soothing…Comforting and soothing the baby back to sleep when they wake up.
5. Light Housekeeping….Performing small tasks related to the baby, such as cleaning bottles or organizing the nursery.
My Qualifications
Home based child minder, paediatric first aid makaton trained and a degree in forensic chemistry

Sheila helped us in more ways than she will ever know, she became family to us. Sheila cared for my son from 1 week old to 7 months old and he absolutely adores her. She took the weight off my shoulders as a second time mum so I could rest, look after my daughter and most importantly avoid post natal depression, which I suffered from with my daughter. We originally booked Sheila for 6 weeks before quickly realising she was life changing and the best money we'd ever spent, so we quickly snapped her up and extended her contract for 7 months. Sheila is trustworthy, loyal, fun, loving and a hard worker. We miss her so much!

Sheila worked with us from May-July 2024 taking care of our new born girl. She helped us buy everything we needed and set up the nursery in a few days. She guided us to the most helpful products based on her experience. She also gave our new born very special care and comfort. Her genuine warm affection for babies really makes her an excellent carer for a new born.

Thank you for the review Syeda
Sheila has taken care of my two toddlers on a number of occasions. I have never felt more at ease with anyone. So easy to talk to and zero judgement on my parenting approach/style either which I love! She instantly interacted with my little ones and made me feel so comfortable. I highly recommend Sheila if your looking for childcare, she will not disappoint.

Thank you for the review Mitesh
Sheila was an excellent night nurse for our 4-month old son. Punctual, professional and warm with our son, who is a difficult sleeper and suffers from reflux. Our minds were at rest when leaving him with Sheila in the evening, and he was cheerful and calm in the morning as she was leaving. She could put him to sleep quickly and knew how to settle him down. I would highly recommend Sheila.
